 "M*A*S*H" imitates the episodic structure
of the book upon which it is based, detailing the pranks that
the unit's personnel engage in between the frequent outbreaks
of intense surgical activity. Upon arriving in Korea, newly drafted
Army doctors Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald
Sutherland) and Nathan Bedford "Duke" Forrest (Tom
Skerritt) are sent to M*A*S*H 4077, a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital
near the front. They are soon joined by another draftee, Dr.
Trapper John McIntyre (Elliott Gould), and the three attempt
to maintain their sanity in the face of so much blood and lunacy
by showing up the regular army, forming a football team, and
staging an elaborate mock suicide.
