They Were Expendable is a war movie made by war veterans, and like them, it is tough, authentic and unsentimental. Robert Montgomery brings unmistakable authority to his role of Lt. Brickley. John Wayne's performance as the brash "Rusty" is one of his classics.
In the harrowing early days of World War II, as the American Pacific Fleet lay crippled at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Navy pressed relent-lessly into the Philippines. Two American skip-pers (Wayne and Montgomery) are determined to prove that their small, swift PT boats can be used as effective weapons against the larger Japanese cruisers. In vivid David vs. Goliath battle sequences, they prove their point with devastating results.
Since both director John Ford and Montgomery had served in the wartime Navy, the realism and accuracy of the sea maneuvers far surpass any other Hollywood military film. These veter-ans honored their comrades in the best way they knew how: by making a memorable film that pays touching tribute to the sacrifice of those who knew They Were Expendable.
