Eight Iron Men is a 1952 American World War II drama film directed by Edward Dmytryk and produced by Stanley Kramer.

Lee Marvin's plays the squad's leader in Dmytryk's noir style film with J. Roy Hunt's cinematography.

The screenplay by Harry Brown was based on his 1945 play A Sound of Hunting, which had featured Sam Levene, Frank Lovejoy and Burt Lancaster during its short run on Broadway from November 20 to December 8, 1945.

Meanwhile, Coke, who was separated from the patrol, returns on his own to the squad's basement outpost where goof-off Private Collucci is sleeping, dreaming of beautiful women.

A runner from company headquarters delivers a package for a squad member and tells the men that the regiment is being pulled off the line that night.

A runner alerts the squad that the company is pulling out in half an hour, but another burst of machine gun fire galvanizes Mooney.
