The Firebase - Blutige Offensive (1989)
Sergeant Major Hafner führt eine Spezialeinheit der Marines in einem höllischen Gewaltmarsch durch feindliches Gebiet. Seine ausgesuchten Männer, die weder Tod noch Teufel fürchten, finden alarmierende Anzeichen für eine Grossoffensive des Viet Cong: Obwohl Waffenruhe herrscht, ziehen sich gewaltige Verbände zusammen. Sie erreichen die Basis GLORIA, einen der am weitesten ins Kampfgebiet vorgeschobenen US-Stützpunkte. Corporal Di Nardo, Tötungsspezialist und enger Vertrauter Hafners, entdeckt mit Schrecken, dass der Kommandant der "FIREBASE" völlig überfordert und inkompetent ist. Gerade noch rechtzeitig übernimmt Hafner das Kommando, denn ein Feuersturm bricht über die Basis herein. Im letzten Moment gelingt es dem todesmutigen Piloten "Bugs" Moran, die Angreifer mit seinem Kampfhubschrauber zurückzuschlagen. Doch dieser erste Angriff erscheint harmlos gegen das nun folgende Inferno...
