Synopsis
In the final days of the battle of Manila during World War II, fanatical Japanese naval forces barricade themselves inside the walls of Intramuros, the ancient Spanish walled city of Manila. In a suicidal last stand, the Japanese hold many thousand Filipinos captive within the fortress, despite the incessant bombardment of United States artillery. An American war correspondent, Murray, arrives at the front line where a guerrilla unit led by American Lieutenant Sorenson makes contact with a young Filipino fighter, Nardo, who has escaped the fortress through a sewer passage. Nardo proposes a plan to rescue the prisoners through the tunnel. Sorenson learns that his Filipina wife, Tina, whom he had believed to be dead, is among the prisoners. The rescue operation, timed to coincide with an intensive attack against the fortress, is accomplished under fire as American howitzers breach the city walls. Sorenson, after a brief reunion with Tina, rejoins Nardo and follows the main body of American troops as they enter the burning city.
