Synopsis Oliver Stone's examination of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and the struggle for the hearts and minds of a group of battle-weary grunts. New soldier Chris finds himself in the midst of a fragmented troop, half of whom are constantly high on drugs. The other, "sober" soldiers, led by a gung-ho commander, are determined to plow ahead and win the war at all costs. But when their violence gets out of control, Chris has to decide which side he's on -- those who use war as an excuse to forget morality, or those who try to understand and learn from the cruelty around them.
