Lt. Lawson (Robertson) has only one interest in the war, getting out of it. Sent with British soldiers on a suicide mission to thwart the Japanese communications system, he finds a natural comrade in the cynical Tosh (Caine). But when the two soldiers make a discovery that could change the course of the war, they must decide whether to save themselves...or become the heroes they never wanted to be.
