An American platoon parachutes into Burma to take out a strategic Japanese outpost

Overview

They accomplish this well enough, but when they try to rendezvous at an old air-strip to be taken back to their base, they find Japanese waiting for them, and they must make a long, difficult walk back through enemy-occupied jungle.
