Hell in the Pacific is a 1969 World War II film starring Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune. It was directed by John Boorman.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Two men, one American and one Japanese, are marooned on an uninhabited Pacific island. In order to survive they must accept their differences and work together, despite their two countries being at war.
What little dialogue this film has is not dubbed or sub-titled, authentically portraying the frustration of restricted communication between the two characters. This was all shot in the beautiful Rock Islands of Palau in the North Pacific Ocean right next to the Philippine Islands in the Philippine Sea.
[edit] Trivia
Lee Marvin served with the US Marines in the Pacific in World War II. He was wounded and received the Purple Heart.
