Finally, in 1942, several hundred Navajo Americans were recruited as Marines and trained to use a secret military code based on their native language. These Marines were called codetalkers. John Woo’s spectacular WINDTALKERS centers on the relationships between the Marines and the Navajo codetalkers they were assigned to protect during World War II. The codetalkers transmitted messages using an unbreakable code based on their native language. Their code was ultimately the only one never broken by the Japanese and is considered to have been key in winning the war. The gripping climax takes place during the battle of Saipan when the Marines fighting off the Japanese must safeguard the code at all costs. |
