Summary
In the untouched forests of Southeast Asia, a hike that begins as a routine patrol quickly turns into a hell fueled by the heat and paranoia. Amid the muddy trenches, young soldiers with rifles in hand struggle not only against an invisible enemy but also against the disintegration growing within themselves. In this semi-autobiographical war drama, Oliver Stone lays bare the dark recesses of the human soul and the innocence lost in the heart of the jungle.
