Description: This is a solid and memorable film about American military involvement in Vietnam. With a maximum amount of realism, this gritty tale set in 1964 manages to convey the confusion, the corruption, and the courage of that jungle war. Major Asa Barker (Burt Lancaster), a World War II and Korean War veteran, is ordered to defend Muc wa, a tranquil South Vietnam outpost. He has grave reservations about the order. Most of his worst fears are confirmed when the Americans and their native support squad take over the area.

"It is the early stages of the Vietnam War and a group of American military advisors led by Major Asa Barker have to defend a tiny village called Muc Wa from a large force of Viet Cong.
