VIETNAM ... THE BRUTAL TRUTH OF A BLOODY WAR

This harrowing and haunting film was one of the cinema's first action adventures to take a realistic view of the war in Vietnam. It follows the fortunes of five young men from widely differing backgrounds whose lives merge when they find themselves in the same company in the US Marine Corps. What they go through, the horrors they have to face, and the permanent effect it has on their lives makes for a gripping and chilling indictment of a futile and bloody war.
