Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

Java 1942, in a Japanese POW camp a war of wills unfolds between camp commandant Yonoi (Ryuichi Sakomoto) and rebellious prisoner Maj. Jack Cellier (David Bowie), while bilingual prisoner Col. John Lawrence (Tom Conti) engages in a more adversarial relationship with sadistic sergeant Gengo Hara (Takeshi Kitano), who offers Lawrence a sinister 'Christmas' present.

One of Our Aircraft is Missing

The story of six British airmen and their incredible feat of survival. Parachuting from their crippled plane into a remote forest, the British soldiers are soon discovered by a group of children who lead them to a farm. Faced with a perilous journey across the Channel, their very fate rests on an unexpected turn of events.

Wheels of Terror

A bold WWII tale following the exploits of a cynical tank crew made up of convicts and prisoners. The 27th Panzers are a ragtag group of miscreants in need of discipline and direction. They are sent to the Russian Front by Nazi Col. Von Weisshagen (David Carradine) on a do-or-die mission to destroy a train behind enemy lines. If they succeed they will become free men, failure is not an option.
