The first film to depict the experiences of black soldiers in Vietnam minimizes the issue of race and centers instead on the psychodrama that plays out between a group of five men on a dangerous mission. An uncomfortable mix of inexperienced recruits and jaded veterans travels into enemy territory to rescue the survivors from a P.O.W. camp abandoned by the Viet Cong. Worried that they may not return alive, the five soldiers look back at the events that led them to the jungles of Vietnam. [More]

Paying tribute to the black American combat soldier, this is an earnest, socially conscious film that is neither effective as an actioner nor as a personal drama.

An admirable attempt, but these soldier's stories could be told a whole lot better.
