Plots(1)
They were crack troops skilled in techniques of unconventional warfare, the soldiers of the Special Forces - and the focus of this first Hollywood feature film about the Vietnam War. John Wayne headlines and co-directs this red-white-and-blue depiction of America's Vietnam effort, based on Robin Moore's novel. Wayne wrote to President Lyndon Johnson requesting military assistance - and got more than enough firepower to create an impressive spectacle. Its soldiers fit the tried-and-true mould of earlier Wayne war classics like Back to Bataan and Sands of Iwo Jima. Their heroics are timeless. (Warner Bros. AU)
