None but the Brave (Japanese: 勇者のみ, Hepburn: Yūsha Nomi) is a 1965 epic anti-war film directed by and starring Frank Sinatra, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya. The film follows two platoons, one from the Imperial Japanese Army and the other from the United States Marine Corps, who are stranded on the same uninhabited island during the Pacific War and must learn to cooperate with each other to survive.
Produced by Tokyo Eiga, Toho, and Sinatra Enterprises, None but the Brave was the first major feature film co-produced between Japan and the United States and Sinatra's sole directorial effort. It was released in Japan on January 15, 1965, and was released in the United States on February 11, 1965, to mixed but generally negative reviews, though it earned somewhat more positive reception in the years following as an early anti-war film predating the counterculture films of the late 1960s and 1970s.
