Heartbreak Ridge
July 10 / 7:30 pm & July 12 / 2:00 pm
Starring Clint Eastwood, Marsha Mason, & Everett McGill
Hard-nosed, hard-living Marine Gunnery Sergeant Tom Highway clashes with his superiors and his ex-wife as he takes command of a spoiled recon platoon with a bad attitude.
This movie is a fictional account of the real-life invasion of Grenada by the U.S., though some sequences in the movie were based on actual events from that engagement.
The title was derived from the Korean War’s Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, also known as the Battle of Wendengli. It was fought between September 13 and October 15, 1951.
Though he has acted in earlier war movies and directed others later in his career, this is the only war movie of Clint Eastwood’s where he both acted and directed.
