Japanese controlled Manchuria, 1945: Doctor Ishii has just been made commander of the Squadron 731, a top secret prison camp where the Japanese want to develop a particularly nasty plague virus to turn the fortunes of war around, and to this end, Ishii and his team conduct countless inhuman human experiments on their Chinese prisoners, including deep-freezing one man's hands and then breaking them off, cooking a woman's hand in water and then tearing the flesh from her bones with her fully conscious, and exposing another man to extreme low pressure - until his guts shoot out of his ass. For no apparent reason, nasty Doctor Ishii also throws a cat into a room full of rats and has her eaten up by the little critters.

Ichikawa is a member of Squadron 731's youth corps, and he seems to be a model recruit: Instead of questioning the many inhuman experiments he follows his orders to the letter, and he even believes that the torture of the war prisoners serves a higher cause. Yes, he even believes the propaganda that the Chinese are lesser people. Then though, his superior Lt Kawasaki asks him to bring a friend of his to the camp, a mute Chinese boy, and too late does Ichikawa realize that the boy will actually become part of an experiment - and before he can prevent is, the youngster is actually taken apart. Now Ichikawa wants revenge, and he and his fellow recruits, who have long suffered under Kawasaki, gang up on the man and give him a sound beating ...

Word reaches Ishii that with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan has lost the war and surrendered. He prepares for his and his men's return to Japan, but not before the camp is erradicated, all documents are burnt and all prisoners are shot, so none of his achievements can be held against him by the occupying forces ...

 

Exploitation at its best - or worst: The detailed showing of Japanese war atrocities (real as well as fictional) is the main attraction of Men Behind the Sun, with the very feeble and directionless plot only playing second fiddle. And if that's not gruesome enough, there's also a real cat eaten by rats and rats burned alive, just for additional shock effect. This all makes a very meagre, even pointless film, but it's loved by gorehounds nevertheless for its sheer outrageousness. Besides outrageousness though, the film has little to offer, and unfortunately it's not even so bad it's good, it's just a bland exercise in shocking the audience.
