Plot – In 1941 young soldier Prewitt is transferred to Hawaii, where the only pastime is boxing. Prewitt has been a great boxer as a civilian, but he refuses to train as he has sworn to himself not to fight ever again because he has seriously injured a friend during a fight. Sergeant Warden, the head of the company, likes the newcomer and supports him against every kind of suppression. While Warden has a secret relationship with Karen, the commander's wife, Prewitt spends his free time with Lorraine, a girl who entertains the soldiers. He also meets an Italian-American guy, Angelo Maggio, who has a strong temperament and doesn't submit to constant harassments, so he's transferred. As Angelo is killed, Prewitt stabs the guilty in turn and he's forced to hide. When the Japaneses attack Pearl Harbor, the soldiers' lives change forever.
