Plot: In World War II, the outcome of the battle of Guadalcanal will strongly influence the Japanese's advance into the pacific. A group of young soldiers is brought in as a relief for the battle-weary Marine units. The exhausting fight for a key-positioned airfield that allows control over a 1000-mile radius puts the men of the Army Rifle company C-for-Charlie through hell. The horrors of war forms the soldiers into a tight-knit group, their emotions develop into bonds of love and even family. The reasons for this war get further away as the world for the men gets smaller and smaller until their fighting is for mere survival and the life of the other men with them. Grande sconfitto alla serata degli Oscar, assente dagli schermi da oltre vent'anni, il "vecchio leone" Terence Malick ha composto una sinfonia sull'assurdità e sull'orrore della guerra, passando anche attraverso il rapporto dell'uomo con la natura. Siamo a Guadalcanal, durante la guerra nel Pacifico, ed un plotone di fucilieri statunitensi ha ricevuto l'ordine di conquistare una collina dalla quale i giapponesi controllano l'isola. Ci sono le azioni di guerra, le battaglie, con la macchina da presa che segue le truppe passo per passo. Ma c'è anche l'umanità di soldati non del tutto consapevoli della follia cui vanno incontro e c'è la natura tanto maltrattata eppure così magica. E non è soltanto un film di guerra. E' un film sull'anima dei soldati, con le loro riflessioni interiori e la loro meravigliosa voglia di esistere.
