A superb ensemble cast falls in for action in Stanley Kubrick's brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. Joker (Matthew modine), Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Gomer (Vincent D'Onofrio), Eightball (Dorian Harewood), Cowboy (Arliss Howard) and more - all are plunged into a boot-camp hell pitbulled by a leatherlung D.I. (Lee Ermey) who views the would-be devil dogs as grunts, maggots or something less.
Synopsis: Multichaptered Vietnam drama follows a cynical marine from boot camp to the Tet Offensive. Critics praised its rich characters, indictment of military's brutality. Appealing for war drama fans seeking gritty authenticity.
