Sinopsis
Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945) el avance de las tropas estadounidenses en la campaña del Pacífico se ve seriamente obstaculizado por la capacidad de los servicios de inteligencia japoneses para descifrar los mensajes militares. A finales de 1942, son entrenados varios centenares de indios navajos para emplear un código secreto basado en su lengua materna, el único que no pudo ser descifrado por los japoneses. Los protagonistas son dos oficiales cuya misión es proteger a dos indios navajos enrolados en la Marina. Basada en hechos reales.
