== Tropes in this film: ==
* [[Conflict Ball]]: The Windtalkers knew how important they were - that they needed a babysitter to keep them safe - but Ben is ''shocked'' that among Joe's orders are ones to kill him should he fall into enemy hands.
* [[Hiding Behind the Language Barrier]]
Line 19:
* [[Survivors Guilt]]: Joe has this.
* [[Noun Verber]]
* [[Very Loosely Based Onon a True Story]]: There were Navajo code talkers, and they really were instrumental in the Pacific Theater<ref>(Adolf Hitler had served in [[World War I]] and knew the allies had used similar code talkers in that war - he sent covert agents to study Native American dialects before the United States entered the war. Knowing this, the US did not use the Navajo code talkers in Europe)</ref>, but the characters in this movie are all fictional.
** At least the posters say "inspired by" rather than "based on".
