Amazingly realistic war footage combined with true-life heroics power this compelling story of an ordinary Texas youth whose extraordinary bravery brings him unparalleled glory. But as his list of medals grows, Murphy's band of brothers continues to fall, leaving him one of the few to recount the unforgettable tale of those who went to hell and back. Review: An excellent Kino Lober Blu-ray for a quality war film - The Kino Lorber blu-ray of To Hell and Back is the only way to watch this film. If you’ve seen this in the past or are simply interested in war films in general, this wonderful HD presentation does this move justice and honors the spirit in which it was made. THaB is an important milestone in the genre and entertains while illuminating Audie Murphy the man. Growing up, I had watched this film several times during Saturday afternoons. I found it engaging as a child and was surprised that Audie Murphy played himself. Even being a youngster, I figured it must have been very hard for him to reenact those combat and death scenes. It was because of To Hell and Back that I knew of Audie Murphy since I never encountered any of his other films. Regardless, many of the moments in the movie stuck with me. On a side note, when I was in Basic Training, the Drill Sergeant was supposed to teach my platoon The Army Goes Rolling Along, but he preferred The Dog-faced Soldier and we sang that instead. So I developed a soft spot for that tune which is used extensively in different arrangements in the film. For WWII movies, it’s important to remember that there is a time before Saving Private Ryan and a time after Saving Private Ryan. What I mean by this is that audiences raised on a harder action films with gore will often find older war films wanting. But it was just not possible to show the level of carnage allowable today in 1955 when To Hell and Back was made. This has to be understood as not making the movie any less dramatic but rather a theatrical convention of it’s time. The horror of war doesn’t come from depicting bloody slaughter but from watching your best friends die just as Audie Murphy did in real life. To Hell and Back is a “B” film that was given a few extras that pushed it to higher level of quality. It was shot in color and in widescreen CinemaScope which really helps it pop on modern HD screens. The Blu-ray also has a nice commentary track by two historians and I appreciated that the cover of the case actually used the original poster for the artwork. A few negatives, the lame introduction by the general dulls the opening and the combat scenes were shot in Yakama Washington, and while picturesque, this area doesn’t really look like Sicily, Italy and France. Plus, nobody had a panzer so an American tank fills in for that, but as you probably already know, this happened a lot in most WW2 flicks. Finally, Audie Murphy was 30 but playing himself as he was at 17 to 20, so some suspension of disbelief is needed. To boil it down To Hell and Back is a coming of age story amidst the terror of war and about the loss of friends. It was made when those raw memories were still fresh and is a good time capsule of 1950s moviemaking. Recommended!

Recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by J***N on May 7, 2026* Good Movie ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True story, one of the greatest American heroes. *by A***D on May 17, 2026* Not enough can be said about how incredible this movie is, not only because it's a true story, and not only because the actor is the man who lived it, but because Murphy himself later said that he saw many things that were much more incredible than the unincredible things shown in the movie. Can't be judged as pure Cinema. If it wasn't a story that was documented as it was happening, nobody would believe it. It has to be judged from the viewpoint of knowing the entire history of Audie Murphy from his beginnings his troubles later in life. We see the movie through Murphy's eyes. Watching this honors him and All American heroes. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/2807191-to-hell-and-back-dvd](https://www.desertcart.at/products/2807191-to-hell-and-back-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
