The film takes us to Parris Island Marine Recruit Training Depot in South Carolina, USA, to observe the rituals that will transform a motley group of eighteen year-olds into soldiers of the United States Marine Corps, unquestionably the roughest, toughest branch in the US military. It is a gripping study of what it takes to change ordinary civilians into the staple of wars, soldiers ready to kill, even to die for their country.
