Five acclaimed contemporary directors tell the story of five legendary Hollywood filmmakers who enlisted in the armed forces to document World War II.
As World War II begins, five of Hollywood's top directors leave success and homes behind to join the armed forces and make films for the war effort.
Now in active service, each director learns his cinematic vision isn't always attainable within government bureaucracy and the variables of war.
At the war's end, the five come back to Hollywood to re-establish their careers, but what they've seen will haunt and change them forever.
