Released in 1951, Go for Broke! is an action, drama, war and history film directed by Robert Pirosh, running about 92 minutes. “The story of Japanese-American soldiers who fought in Europe during World War II” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. A tribute to the U.S. 442nd Regimental Combat Team, formed in 1943 by Presidential permission with Japanese-American volunteers. We follow the training of a platoon under the rueful command of Lt. Mike Grayson who shares common prejudices of the time. The 442nd serve in Italy, then France, distinguishing themselves in skirmishes and battles; gradually and naturally, Grayson's prejudices evaporate with dawning realization that his men are better soldiers than he is.
