Japan 1944. The twenty-two-year-old Hiroo Onoda is an intelligence officer and is sent to Lubang, a small island in the Philippines, where Americans are about to land. His mission is to organise and guide the local guerrilla until the Japanese troops are back. However, while the Empire surrenders a little while after, Onoda, hidden in the jungle, will accomplish his mission whatever it takes.
