We're getting strafed, shelled, bombed, and blasted. And it isn't even our damned war!

A unit of American military advisors in Vietnam prior to the major U.S. involvement finds similarities between their helpless struggle against the Viet Cong and the doomed actions of a French unit at the same site a decade before.

Directed by Ted Post

Starring Burt Lancaster, Craig Wasson, Marc Singer, Joe Unger, David Clennon, Evan C. Kim, John Megna, Hilly Hicks
