Central Luzon 1945. General MacArthur's Army of Liberation slices across the Philippines to strike at Manila and cut off the Japanese Imperial Army's retreat to the north. But 25 miles behind enemy lines, outnumbered by a force six times its own strength, an elite team of US Rangers, Filipino guerillas and Alamo Scouts is about to penetrate the very heart of the Japanese pow camp at Cabanatuan. Their mission: rescue the American POWs left to die after the infamous Bataan Death March - and get out alive.
