Sands of Iwo Jima recreates one of the most famous war photographs in U.S. history, “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima,” and is THE quintessential WWII film – emotionally gripping, punctuated with intense battle scenes, all bound together by Wayne’s larger-than-life performance. John Wayne earned a 1949 Best Actor Academy Award® nomination for Sands of Iwo Jima in one of his most iconic roles, as the battle-hardened leader of a squad of recruits.
