Windtalkers

Windtalkers (2002) is a WWII action film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John Woo. The story centers on one of the war's best-kept secrets: the U.S. Marine Corps recruited hundreds of Navajo men to transmit battlefield messages in their native language — a code Japanese cryptanalysts never cracked.

Marine Sergeant Joe Enders, played by Nicolas Cage, is assigned as bodyguard to Navajo code talker Ben Yahzee, played by Adam Beach. The orders are brutal: protect the code at any cost — even if that means killing Yahzee before the enemy takes him alive. Over 134 minutes, Woo stages the Pacific campaign on Saipan with his trademark kinetic firefights, while quietly letting the bond between two unlikely partners complicate an impossible order.

The cast includes Mark Ruffalo, Christian Slater, and Noah Emmerich. The Navajo Code Talkers program remained classified until 1968, and the film draws directly from declassified accounts. Stream Windtalkers (2002) in full online on iFILM.
