An explosive tale of friendship and combat.

Robert Wagner, Broderick Crawford and Buddy Ebsen star in this absorbing drama about a recruit who comes of age during World War II. Sam Gifford (Wagner) is a young, successful cotton planter who lacks compassion for others, especially his own sharecroppers. But once in combat he answers to a sadistic commander (Crawford) and must rely on the friendship of a 'cropper'(Ebsen).

Nominated for a 1956 Oscar® for Best Music, Between Heaven and Hell is an action-packed story of men in battle - sometimes with themselves.
