Pacific, The

The Pacific tracks the real-life journeys of three U.S. Marines—Robert Leckie (Dale), Eugene Sledge (Mazzello), and John Basilone (Seda)—across the vast canvas of the Pacific theatre during World War II. The miniseries follows these men and their fellow Marines from their first battle with the Japanese on Guadalcanal, through the rain forests of Cape Gloucester and the strongholds of Peleliu, across the bloody sands of Iwo Jima, through the horror of Okinawa, and finally to their triumphant but uneasy return home after V-J Day. Based in part on the books "Helmet For My Pillow" by Robert Leckie and "With The Old Breed" by Eugene B. Sledge. This is a must-see miniseries! (Tricia Spears)
