TO END ALL WARS

Based on the memoirs of Captain Emest Gordon, To End All Wars recounts the experiences of a disparate band of

battle-weary World War I Allied soldiers, plunged into the brutal terror of a Japanese POW camp. Forced to build a

railroad through the jungles of Burma and Thailand, the men are driven to revenge, escape and self-preservation. Their

captors, cruel head guard Ito (Sake Kimura) and his perpetually drunken superior Captain Noguchi (Masayuki Yui),

treat all acts of insubordination with brutal retaliation. Gordon (Ciaran McMenamin) establishes a "jungle university*

where Plato, Shakespeare and the bible provide an ethical basis for their harsh existence. Gordon's superior officer, lan

Campbell (Robert Carlyle, Trainspotting), scoffs at the increasingly pacificist bent of Gordon's teaching. Jim Reardon

(Kiefer Sutherland, 24), a lone American running a black market, is equally skeptical. But under the relentless brutality

of the camp, the only way for the soldiers to survive is to find what gives their lives meaning. To End All Wars is a

harowing search into the soul of humanity and the human capacity for forgiveness.
