Description:
Academy Award-winner Burt Lancaster delivers the finest perfomance of his illustrious career as a hardboiled major in command of a grubby Vietnam outpost in this classic film of wartime confrontation. The war was still a "conflict" and American soldiers were merely "advisors," yet the ambushes, the betrayals and the brutality were all very real. While the riveting action concentrates on a single, sharply intelligent film illuminates the vast landscape of an era.
