From the makers of Band of Brothers, The Pacific tracks the three entwined, real-life journeys of Leckie, Sledge and Basilone and their fellow Marines over the vast landscape of the Pacific in World War II.
The mini-series follows them from their first battle with the Japanese on Guadalcanal, through the rain forest of Cape Gloucester and the strongholds of Peleliu, across the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima and through the horror of Okinawa, and finally to their triumphant but uneasy return home after V-J Day.
Shot entirely in HD with a blockbuster budget of around 200million dollars, the finished series has the look and feel of a major Hollywood theatrical release with the ongoing narrative of a serial drama.
The Pacific starts on 5 April at 9pm on Sky Movies Premiere HD.
