The story centers around a group of British soldiers who are sent on a mission behind Japanese lines to destroy a radio transmitter. The group is led by a tough and experienced soldier, Captain Hornsby (Michael Caine), but some of the soldiers are new to the war and not as keen to risk their lives.
As they make their way into the jungle, the group has to deal with various challenges, including harsh environmental conditions, dangerous wildlife, and unexpected encounters with the Japanese. Their plans go awry when they stumble upon a Japanese training camp and are forced to engage in a firefight.
After the skirmish, the group is pursued by the Japanese, and they have to use all their skills and ingenuity to avoid detection and make their way back to their base.

The film has been praised for its realistic and gritty portrayal of war, as well as the strong performances by the cast. Despite receiving mixed reviews upon release, Too Late the Hero has gained a cult following over the years and is considered a forgotten gem of the war film genre.
