Directed by Clint Eastwood from a screenplay by Williams Broyles, Jr. and Paul Haggis, FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS boldly explores the complicated nature of heroism, courage and patriotism in the brawling true story of four Marines who fought the bloody battles at Iwo Jima during World War II and how a single photo emerged as one of the most evocative icons of the 20th Century.
A companion piece with Clint Eastwood's LETTERS FROM Iwo Jima, FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS was produced by Eastwood, Steven Spielberg and Robert Lorenz for DreamWorks Pictures/Amblin Entertainment/Warner Bros.
