8. prosince 1941, den po Pearl Harboru, vyhlašují Spojené státy válku Japonsku. Elitní námořní jednotky byly aktivovány, aby vybojovaly bitvy v Pacifiku. Bitvy, ve kterých nezáleželo jenom na bojové strategii a kvalitě zbraní, ale také na chytrosti a připravenosti vojáků. V roce 1942 bylo do americké armády k námořnictvu naverbováno několik set Navajů. Ti byli prvotřídně vyškoleni ke kódování strategických zpráv ve svém jazyce a stali se tak tajnými zbraněmi proti nepříteli. Odvážného seržanta Joe Enderse potkáváme ve válečném lazaretu. Na Šalamounových ostrovech byl těžce zraněn a neslyší na jedno ucho. Scéna, při níž k zranění v guadalcanalském rákosí došlo, se mu stále jako film vrací zpět. Joe je rozhodnut se za každou cenu vrátit na bojiště, což se mu s pomocí zamilované sestřičky podaří.

The film threads together four stories, taking us into the life of a stressed-out Mohawk stockbroker in Manhattan; a young Inupiat girl sent to live with her grandmother in Barrow, Alaska; a Navajo gang member who must find his core values in his reservation on the mesas of New Mexico; and a Quechua healer in Peru, attempting to save a sick child. Each story explores what it means to belong to a specific community. A Thousand Roads is a fictional work, produced by National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) to explore the human context of the NMAI’s collections.
