 Set in 1965, the
story centers on 80 men from the U.S. Air Cavalry, led by Lt.
Col. Hal Moore (Mel Gibson), who find themselves surrounded by
enemy soldiers after being airlifted into a clearing in Vietnam's
Ia Drang Valley. Maj. Bruce Crandall (Greg Kinnear), an all-American
college baseball star and devoted military man, is called upon
by Moore to start up the Air Cavalry unit. Fearless in battle
and constantly risking his life, Crandall mans the chopper for
the duration of the battle. Directed and written by Randall Wallace
(the writer of Braveheart).
