I have read on these fellows but have not seen the movie. I believe it was a Nick Cage affair.

Yes it was. And a few other stars too - and a very, very good film too IMHO - fairly gritty reflection of the reality of war....

It was called Wind Talkers IIRC.

Not the usual Cage effort - this one's quite good. Watch it Jimbeaux, if only for the ending with the real code-talkers.

Don't expect ultra realism, there's about 20 scenes of Nic running forward with a Tommy gun mowing down Japs. Still worth watching though
