Synopsis

Chris is a young US soldier who has just arrived in the Vietnam War, and is torn between the influence of two sergeants: the tough Barnes and the more complex Elias. Based on director Oliver Stone's own experiences in the war, this has some of the most authentically confusing battle scenes ever shot - you get a real sense of the noise, the chaos and of how little the average soldier knows about the purpose of their missions.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
