  Executive produced by Tom Hanks Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman The Pacific is an epic ten-part miniseries from HBO and the team that made Band of Brothers. The Pacific tracks the intertwined real-life stories of three U.S Marines Robert Leckie John Basilone and Eugene Sledge across the vast canvas of the Pacific Theater during World War 2. The miniseries follows these men and their fellow Marines from their first battle with the Japanese on Guadalcanal through the rain forests of Cape Gloucester and the strongholds of Peleliu across the bloody sands of Iwo Jima and through the horror of Okinawa and finally to their triumphant but uneasy return home after V-J Day. The Pacific is primarily based on two memoirs of US Marines Eugene Sledge's With The Old Breed: At Peleliu And Okinawa and Robert Leckie's Helmet For My Pillow. The series also draws on Eugene Sledge's China Marine and Chuck Tatum's Red Blood Black Sand as well as original interviews conducted by the filmmakers.
