About the Movie
Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood stars as Gunnery Sergeant Tom Highway, a Marine who has always found peace more difficult than war. Nearing the end of his highly decorated career, Highway faces the wreckage of his own personal life when he returns to the base where he began his service to pass his experience to new Marines--experience that proves life-saving when his ragtag platoon is pressed into war.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: As the gritty, raspy-voiced sergeant, Mr. Eastwood's performance is one of the richest he's ever given.
Fresh: Heartbreak Ridge offers another vintage Clint Eastwood performance.
Rotten: To tell the truth, the Grenada Incursion looks even sillier on film than it did in the headlines. War is not hell, it's big box office.
Fresh: We have seen this story in a hundred other movies ... But Eastwood, as the producer, director and star, caresses the material as if he didn't know B movies have gone out of style.
