Combinant archives, reconstitutions et interviews de pilotes survivants ou des familles des pilotes décédés, ce film raconte comment lors de la Bataille d'Okinawa, des milliers de soldats japonais se sont trouvés enrôlés dans cette attaque kamikaze. Il révèle comment la hiérarchie militaire, la situation désespérée du Japon et la fierté nationale se sont conjuguées pour conduire à pareille extrémité. Des archives américaines en couleur des commandos-suicide et des témoignages de marins anglais et américains attestent de la terreur
