What was the first movie to show the Navajo Code Talkers?

Bobbie, I don't know that movie, sounds like a good one though. Certainly the Navaho Code Talkers were not actually used in the European theater. There were Comanche code talkers of the 4th Signal Company used at Utah beach in the Normandy invasion. There were twenty-seven Meskwaki in North Africa against the Germans. There also were 14 Choctaw in WWI in the Army's 36th Infantry Division. However, there were no films about them.I think they were referred to briefly in "The Sands of Iwo Jima". There is a scene where the Americans need to send a signal and be sure the Japanese can't understand it so one character says to go get so and so because he is Navaho. "Yeah," says another character, "Those Japs don't savvy Navaho!" Then you see the Indian soldier sending the message in Navaho. I know I remember the scene and I *think* it is in "Sands of Iwo Jima" but I could be wrong. Michael Montagne.The 1959 movie ( ten years after "Sands") "Never So Few" features Charles Bronson as Sgt. John Danforth, a Navajo code talker.AnswerYou are right. It was the Sands Of Iwo Jima.AnswerThe Navajo Code Talkers were used in every allied assualt from 42 to 45 and were mentioned in Sands of Iwo Jima but the first whole movie about them was Windtalkers.

The movie you're referring to is likely "Sands of Iwo Jima," which features an American marine, a Japanese soldier, and a nun as central characters during World War II. The film explores themes of honor, sacrifice, and the brutality of war, set against the backdrop of the Battle of Iwo Jima in the Pacific. It highlights the contrasting perspectives of the characters involved in the conflict, emphasizing the human experience amidst warfare.
