Movie Info

During World War II, Brig. Gen. Merrill (Jeff Chandler) commands a unit of 3000 soldiers, known as "Merrill's Marauders," on a secret mission through Burma, which is occupied by the Japanese. With the help of an elite intelligence troop, headed by 2nd Lt. Stockton (Ty Hardin), the Marauders manage to traverse hundreds of miles of jungle unnoticed. But, as soon as they make it out alive, they're informed by military higher-ups that they've completed only the first of many harrowing objectives.

The film is somewhat unique for its time, but its approach strips the characters of much personality.

Audience Reviews for Merrill's Marauders

Jan 19, 2012

Truly inspiring perhaps in it's day, Merrill's Marauders doesn't translate well. There are far too many better depictions of war that have been made since. It doesn't even match up to Objective Burma which covered much of the same ground.

John B Super Reviewer

Post-war propaganda of the highest order. A zealous Hollywood tribute to the courage and tenacity of the allied infantry in Burma near the end of WWII. Though not in the same league with classics like <i>Objective, Burma!</i>, <i>Merrill's Marauders</i> surely inspired more than a few enlistments when it was released in March of 1962.
