"War. It's a dying business." (probably one of the best taglines ever.)

Too Late the Hero is a 1970 World War II drama starring Michael Caine and Cliff Robertson as British commandos sent on a suicide mission to thwart the Japanese communications system. When the two soldiers make a discovery that could change the course of the war, they must decide whether to save themselves or become the heroes they never wanted to be.
