When you start doing a deep dive into Frank Sinatra's career this movie becomes almost mythical. Frank Sinatra made many films in his day but few and far between did he make something that everyone knew was special. This is one of those films.
This thriller will have you guessing what is going to happen next all the way through. When a platoon is captured and taken to communist China, the men are hypnotized to believe that one many is a great hero, when in reality he has been made into a sleeper agent and doesn't even know it. When Sinatra begins to believe that something wasn't right about this situation he decides to investigate what happened during their capture. After years of questioning with no proof, another man comes forward to tell what he remembers and identifies a couple of nasty men that are known communist government figures. This mystery unfolds in a few ways that now one sees coming.
This movie seems to be one of those movies in his career that is a must see... however, it's also rarely heard of now a days. you almost really have to be a fan of his in order to know this movie or watch it. I was looking forward to it and dreading it because, I am so tired of watching dramas. This is a drama but I was thoroughly impressed. It was interesting, mysterious, sad, and full of emotion! I would recommend to anyone who was a Sinatra fan or a drama fan!
