Summary

During the WWII Battle of Guadalcanal, a U.S. Army rifle company is sent to take a heavily defended hill from entrenched Japanese forces. Terrence Malick's meditative war film weaves together the inner voices of soldiers - from a contemplative AWOL private to a glory-seeking colonel and a war-weary captain - as they confront fear, nature, and the moral chaos of combat.

Released in 1998, The Thin Red Line is a drama, history and war film.

883 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 957 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
