Description
Robert De Niro, John Savage and Christopher Walken star in this war drama directed by Michael Cimino. When Michael (De Niro), Steven (Savage) and Nick (Walken) volunteer to serve in Vietnam, they fail to foresee the horrors that will forever change their lives. They are captured by the Viet Cong and forced to play Russian roulette for their entertainment, and their eventual escape costs them dearly.
After Steven is shipped home, severely disabled and damaged by the whole experience, he realises that Nick has been sending him money to help him to integrate back into society. When Michael learns of this, he decides to return to Vietnam to bring home his friend.
