United States

...ONE MAN DARED TO CROSS IT!
For those who escape the bloobath of Vietnam... there can be no peace. Sickened by the bloody holocaust of Vietnam, the mindless brutality and merciless killing, American GI Rusty Novik goes AWOL and returns to the peace and tranquillity of his home town. But his freedom is short lived. Tracked down by the authorities, he is returned to the Army for 're-habilitation'. Thrown into the stockade, Rusty discovers a new kind of living hell where the sadistic Sgt. Hooks ensures that life is as savage and terrifying as the war itself. Stripped of all human dignity, the prisoners live out their tortured existence until one man finds himself the raw courage it takes to challenge a brutal regime... and step out of THE LINE.
