 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
(Charlie Sheen) 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. Writer/director
Oliver Stone drew on his first-hand combat experiences to create
this powerful film. Academy Award® Nominations: 8, including
Best (Original) Screenplay. Academy Awards®: 4, including
Best Picture, Best Director.
