The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps ' actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines ( Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone ) who were all in different regiments ( 1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively ) of the 1st Marine Division. The Pacific was spearheaded by Bruce C. McKenna ( co-executive producer ), one of the main writers on Band of Brothers. Hugh Ambrose, the son of Band of Brothers author Stephen Ambrose, served as a project consultant. The Pacific miniseries features the 1st Marine Division 's battles in the Pacific, such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, as well as Basilone 's involvement in the Battle of Iwo Jima. It is based primarily on the memoirs of two U.S. Marines : With the Old Breed : At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie. It also draws on Sledge 's memoir China Marine and Red Blood, Black Sand, the memoir of Chuck Tatum, a Marine who fought alongside Basilone on Iwo Jima.

Production Replica Type 95 Ha - Go light tank in the National Museum of Singapore, one of four constructed for the miniseries. The Pacific was produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman in association with HBO Miniseries, Playtone, DreamWorks, Seven Network and Sky Movies. Seven and Sky both invested in the project for the right to broadcast it in Australia and the United Kingdom respectively. Nine Network has previously broadcast the HBO productions of Band of Brothers. Nine had a broadcast deal with HBO 's parent Warner Bros., but then HBO started to distribute its own productions separately. In April 2007, the producers set up a production office in Melbourne and began casting. Originally the project was estimated at $100 million to produce, but ended up costing over $200 million, making The Pacific the most expensive television miniseries ever created by any network. According to The Sydney Morning Herald the series cost $270 million, with an estimated A $134 million of that spent in Australia. The Australian newspaper Herald Sun estimates that it brought 4,000 jobs and generated A $180 million for the Australian economy. Filming of the miniseries in Australia started on August 10, 2007, and finished in late May 2008. From August until November 2007 filming took place at locations in and around Port Douglas, Queensland including Mossman, Queensland ; Drumsara Plantation, Mowbray National Park and beaches at Rocky Point, Queensland. Production then moved to rural Victoria, in the You Yangs near Lara ( from November -- December 2007 ), then at a sand quarry on Sandy Creek Road near Geelong, Victoria until February 2008. Melbourne city locations were used in late 2007 and through 2008 including Central City Studios at Melbourne Docklands ( March 2008 ) ; Flinders Street ( between Swanston and Elizabeth streets, 1 -- 4 February 2008 ) ; the intersection of Swanston and Flinders streets ( February 2008 ) ; Flinders Street Station ( 2 -- 3 February 2008 ). Other suburban locations included Mornington Railway, Bundoora, Victoria, specifically the Ernest Jones Hall at the La Trobe University campus, Bundoora ( late May 2008 ) ; the Railway Hotel, South Melbourne ( December 2007 ) ; Scotch College, Melbourne ( December 2007 ) ; Melbourne High School ( December 2007 ). The series ' score was written by Hans Zimmer, Geoff Zanelli and Blake Neely and was released on March 9, 2010. Historian Hugh Ambrose, son of Band of Brothers author Stephen E. Ambrose, wrote the official tie - in book to the miniseries, which follows the stories of two of the featured men from the miniseries, Basilone and Sledge, as well as stories of Sledge 's close friend Sidney Phillips and two men not featured in the series, marine officer Austin Shofner and U.S. Navy pilot Vernon Micheel. The different cast provides a wider view of the Pacific theatre, allowing the book to include the fall of the Philippines, Midway, Philippine Sea and Luzon and expand the narrative to include depictions of life as experienced by prisoners of war, senior officers and the development of naval aviation. It was published in the UK and the U.S. in March 2010 and Ambrose gave a webcast interview about the book at the Pritzker Military Library on April 15, 2010.

Reception Critical reception The Pacific was very well received by critics, receiving an average score of 87 out of 100 at review aggregator Metacritic. Time magazine 's James Poniewozik named it one of the Top 10 TV Series of 2010. IGN reviewer Ramsey Isler gave the entire miniseries an 8.5 out of 10 ' Great ' score, saying `` Although I do n't think The Pacific overtakes Band of Brothers in terms of technical execution and overall entertainment value, many of the comparisons will be moot as The Pacific is a different kind of series with different goals. This series sought to look beyond the combat and it paints a full, vivid picture of the war and the people that fought it through focused, individual stories. That 's a tall order for any series to fulfill, and although The Pacific does n't always come through with shining colors, it does make an admirable effort. '' IGN also reviewed each individual episode, with Episode 9 receiving a perfect 10 out of 10 score. Accolades The Pacific won a Peabody Award in 2010 for `` this series reminding us of the necessities -- and the costs -- of service.
