Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle[9] (Japanese: ONODA 一万夜を越えて, Hepburn: Onoda: Ichiman'ya o Koete, lit."Onoda: Over ten thousand nights",[4] French: Onoda, 10 000 nuits dans la jungle)[1] is a 2021 adventure drama film directed by Arthur Harari and written by the director and Vincent Poymiro, with the collaboration of Bernard Cendron, freely inspired by the life of Hiroo Onoda.[2] It is an international co-production between France, Japan, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Cambodia.[1][2][5]
The film stars Yuya Endo as Onoda, a Japanese soldier who refused to believe that World War II had ended and continued to fight on a remote Philippine island until 1974.[13] It is particularly inspired by Cendron and Gérard Chenu's 1974 biography Onoda, seul en guerre dans la jungle and on Cendron's archives and Harari's conversations with him. It is not based on Onoda's own memoirs, and Harari considers the film fiction inspired by history rather than a biographical film.[2]
