Not offered: what its record states (its uploader's public-domain mark, or a licence not shown to be its rights holder's) leaves its US term to decide, and it is dated 1959; under US law a work of that year is free only on facts the site does not hold for it (its US renewal records, or its own country's term on 1 January 1996 for a work published abroad), and otherwise its US term runs to the end of 2054.

About

Fires on the Plain is a 1959 Japanese war film directed by Kon Ichikawa, starring Eiji Funakoshi. The screenplay, written by Natto Wada, is based on the novel Nobi by Shōhei Ōoka, translated as Fires on the Plain. It follows Private Tamura, a tubercular soldier in the Japanese army during the final days of World War II, as he struggles to survive on the island of Leyte. Cut off from supplies and facing starvation, he encounters the brutal realities of war, including cannibalism and despair, ultimately leading to a harrowing journey that explores the depths of human suffering and the loss of humanity in wartime.
