Platoon Leader - Der Krieg kennt keine Helden (1988)
Frisch von der Militärakademie West Point wird Lt. Jeff Knight an einen Außenposten in Vietnam versetzt. Dort soll er das Kommando übernehmen, aber die Soldaten begegnen dem Neuling ablehnend und respektlos. Schon der erste Einsatz endet lebensgefährlich, Jeff wird schwer verletzt. Als er zurückkehrt, ist er einer von ihnen geworden. Der Krieg hat die ungleiche Truppe zusammen geschweißt und jetzt müssen sie wirklich gemeinsam kämpfen und einander auf Leben und Tod vertrauen, um das nahe gelegene Dorf vor der Zerstörung zu schützen.
