Windtalkers is a 2002 action war film directed by John Woo. Nicolas Cage and Christian Slater star as two US Marine sergeants assigned to protect Navajo code talkers in Saipan during World War II.

WWII Cpl. Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage) after becoming almost deaf in one ear a year earlier while trying to save a buddy, returns to active duty with a little help from a sympathetic pharmacist (Frances O'Connor). His first assignment is to protect Navajo code talker Pvt. Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach). Sgt. Ox Anderson (Christian Slater) receives a parallel assignment protecting Navajo code talker Pvt. Charlie Whitehorse (Roger Willie).

Yahzee and Whitehorse send and receive coded messages that direct battleship bombardments of Japanese land positions. Enders and Anderson are told that the code cannot fall into enemy hands and to kill the code talkers if they are captured.

This is Yahzee and Whitehorse's first combat experience. After the beachhead is secured, the Marines comes under friendly fire by American artillery. Yahzee's radio is destroyed and the convoy is unable to call off the bombardment. To avoid the American artillery, the commander orders the Marines to attack the Japanese position.

Still without the ability to communicate and American artillery shells raining down on them, Yahzee is disguised as a Japanese soldier and sent behind enemy lines in search of a radio. Yahzee has to kill a Japanese radioman before he can redirect American artillery fire onto the Japanese position.

Yahzee is sent back to headquarters and that night the Marines make camp in a village that is latter attacked. During the fight Anderson, who had been guarding Whitehorse, is decapitated and Whitehorse is captured. Enders throws a grenade killing Whitehorse. Yahzee returns to the front-line and learning that Enders killed Whitehorse attempts to shoot him.

The Marines are then ambushed near a minefield, yet are able to fight their way out to a ridge. At the top of the ridge they see enemy guns firing on American troops. Still angry over Whitehorse, Yahzee attacks the Japanese fearlessly, and in so doing, fumbles the radio needed to call in bombardments. Yahzee and Enders are shot as they both attempt to retrieve the radio . Enders manages to carry Yahzee to safety after taking a shot in the chest. With his last breath Enders confesses he hated having to kill Whitehorse.

Back in the U.S., Yahzee, his wife and son sit on top of the John Ford's Point mesa in Monument Valley, Arizona, and perform the Navajo ritual of paying respects to the man who saved his life, though, was forced to take the life of Whitehorse.
