Combat Shock (1986)
Nach Jahren qualvoller Gefangenschaft kehrt Frankie Dunlan aus der grünen Hölle Vietnams zurück in die Straßen New Yorks. Niemand hat ihn auf den Alptraum vorbereitet, der ihn hier im Dreck der riesigen Großstadt erwartet. Die Gesellschaft gibt ihm kaum eine Chance: Seine Freunde haben sich von ihm abgewandt, seinen Job hat er verloren. Schnell muß er feststellen, daß Kriegshelden keine Zukunft haben. Ohne Geld und mit wenig Hoffnung beginnt für Frankie und seine Familie der tägliche Überlebenskampf in der vom Verbrechen regierten Stadt. Ein einziger Sumpf aus Grausamkeit und Gewalt, brutaler als die Hölle des Dschungels. Das Leben in der 'Zivilisation' wird für Frankie zur tödlichen Bedrohung, doch er setzt sich zur Wehr...
Der Regisseur: Buddy Giovinazzo
