This film is based on true battles of the Vietnam War. In November 1965, the Vietnam War escalated to the stage of direct U.S. military involvement. The number of U.S. troops in Vietnam continued to rise. Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore (played by Mel Gibson) was tasked with training a group of new recruits into real soldiers, while a number of military families also flooded into the unit, with soldiers playing dual roles as husbands and warriors, creating a warm atmosphere laced with unease. To alleviate the monotony of military life, the unit organized a large gala. The time for deployment arrived, and Moore solemnly pledged at the ceremony to "bring back each soldier." Moore and his troops were air-dropped in a valley near Cambodia, an area heavily occupied by North Vietnamese forces. Outnumbered, the U.S. Army found itself under heavy siege with heavy casualties, and eventually, with the assistance of artillery and helicopters, the battle began to stalemate. The next day, the fighting advanced to the hills but they still could not break through the encirclement, so Moore sought help from the Air Force. Due to the proximity of both sides, U.S. napalm attacks accidentally injured some ground troops. Photographer Joe (played by Barry Pepper) documented the brutal scenes of the battle. On the third day, the U.S. forces were preparing for a decisive close-quarters battle, at which point the Air Force support arrived, leading to the complete destruction of the enemy forces.
