What is Hell to Eternity about?
Hell to Eternity centers on a premise that unfolds like this: Based on the story about Guy Gabaldon, a Los Angeles Hispanic boy raised in the 1930s by a Japanese-American foster family. After Pearl Harbor, his foster family is interned at the Manzanar camp for Japanese Americans, while he enlists in the Marines, where his ability to speak Japanese becomes a vital asset. During the Battle of Saipan, he convinces 800 Japanese to surrender after their general commits suicide.
What sets it apart is how it treats its drama and war elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot.
