In this Japanese war movie, a rebellious war hero disobeys orders. For his punishment, the fellow is sent to the Chinese front. He goes there and finds that his brother was killed for desertion. This enrages the soldier who explodes and finds himself in deeper trouble, and he is faced with a difficult choice: he can either be court-martialed, or he can perform a kamikaze mission. He chooses the latter, and along with a cadre of freed prisoners, must capture a Chinese fort. They do succeed in their mission, but unfortunately the brave fighters are overpowered by the sheer numbers of the Chinese who continually bombard the fortress.

Chi to suna (1965)
Combining the talents of Mifune Toshiro, Nakadai Tatsuya, and master filmmaker Okamoto Kihachi, this is possibly the greatest war film to come out of Japan. Mifune plays Sergeant Kosugi, who, although decorated for valor has been sent to the Manchurian front after striking a superior officer.

On his way to the fort, he falls in with a military band, none of whom have weapons, just their musical instruments, and it falls to him to make them into soldiers who must capture the strategic Fort Graveyard from the Chinese. Nakadai is brilliant as Captain Sakuma, the commanding officer who sends Kosugi and his squad on this suicidal mission. Brutal action and macabre humor combine to make this film an outstanding anti-war statement.

Although best known in the West for his samurai films ”Samurai Assassin” and ”Sword of Doom”, Okamoto is considered one of Japan’s greatest directors and this is a true masterpiece. As with ”Desperado Outpost”, this movie is set during the waning days of the Second World War in Manchuria where the tide has turned against the Japanese army and life is cheap.

Fort Graveyard is one of the finest war movies ever made. It stars Toshiro Mifune as a sergeant that leads a small platoon of inexperienced soldiers (they are truly nothing more than a military band) on a suicide mission to capture a nearby fort from the Chinese. Tatsuya Nakadai plays Mifune's commander wonderfully, and his screen presence cannot be ignored even though his time in front of the camera is somewhat limited. Mifune uses his natural talent to portray a very convincing sergeant that leads by example, and his men follow suit.

The battle scenes are extremely well done, and you feel the fear emanating from the young soldiers due to the chaos of the situation. The camaraderie between the men may be the strongest aspect of the film. You can sense the anguish whenever one of their companions is killed, and the elation whenever they win a small victory.
