Il film è tratto dall'omonimo romanzo di James Jones, vero reduce della guerra nel Pacifico ambientata durante la campagna americana a Guadalcanal tra il 1942 e il 1943, e che ha per protagonista la Compagnia C dei fucilieri dell'esercito. Il film è ambientato durante la grande battaglia sull'isola di Guadalcanal, durante la quale gli uomini della Compagnia Charlie cercano di conquistare una roccaforte giapponese, una collina denominata 210. La storia, ricostruita con estrema e cruda fedeltà comincia al momento dell'approdo sull'isola, ripercorre i mesi dei sanguinosi ed estenuanti combattimenti, dei pattugliamenti nella giungla, dei brevi riposi nei bivacchi e negli ospedali, e termina con la partenza dei sopravvissuti. Eppure, la conquista della postazione giapponese è del tutto secondaria rispetto agli effetti che questa battaglia comune ha sulle vite degli uomini della Compagnia.
