Platoon Leader (1988)
Jeff Knight, een jonge luitenant opgeleid in West Point, wordt naar Vietnam gestuurd. Daar moet hij met een peloton een Zuid-Vietnamees dorpje 'beschermen' tegen de Vietcong. De enige militaire kennis die hij heeft, komt vooralsnog uit de handboeken. Hij kan dan ook op weinig respect rekenen van zijn oversten en manschappen. Pas wanneer Jeff ernstig gewond raakt, krijgt hij erkenning.
