( Details ) Starring: Tom Berenger , Willem Dafoe , Charlie Sheen Director: Oliver Stone Video Release: May 2000 | Theatrical Release: 1986 Runtime: 120 Rating: R (MPAA) Released by MGM/UA Home Video | UPC: 027616811936 chapters.indigo Review Oliver stone penned and directed this stunning anti-war film based on his own experiences in the Vietnam war. Platoon is the story of a middle-class college kid (Charlie Sheen) who decides that volunteering for combat is his patriotic duty. Upon arrival, he finds himself sorely out of place. The brutal marches, biting insects and incessant heat, not to mention the ever-present scent of fear, soon have him at his wit's end. But even bigger trouble looms in the shape of two commanders, one the embodiment of goodness (Willem Dafoe) and the other a terrifying incarnation of evil (Tom Berenger). Platoon captures as well as film ever could the confusion, terror, death and moral uncertainty of the Americans fighting in Vietnam. The battle cinematography leaves us as bewildered and terrified as the soldiers themselves, which helps the film so accurately capture the mad senselessness of war. Notes Color by CFI. Additional cast: Reggie Johnson (Junior). Additional credits: Rodel Cruz (art director), Warren McLean (casting). Copyright 1986 Hemdale Film Corporation.

Synopsis Oliver Stone's examination of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and the struggle for the hearts and minds of a group of battle-weary grunts. New soldier Chris finds himself in the midst of a fragmented troop, half of whom are constantly high on drugs. The other, sober soldiers, led by a gung-ho commander, are determined to plow ahead and win the war at all costs. But when their violence gets out of control, Chris has to decide which side he's on -- those who use war as an excuse to forget morality, or those who try to understand and learn from the cruelty around them.
