Bill Paxton, Amy MadiganAnfang der 60er Jahre wird US Colonel Vann (Bill Paxton) nach Vietnam entsendet, um dort als Berater die südvietnamesische Einheiten gegen den kommunistischen Norden zu unterstützen. Als Colonel Vann die Inkompetenz öffentlich kritisiert, wird er aus der Armee entlassen und als Zivilist degradiert. Jahre später wird er schließlich wieder zurück nach Vietnam geordert, um wieder gegen den Vietkong zu kämpfen...
Something in his past keeps career Army man John Paul Vann from advancing past colonel. He views being sent to Vietnam as part of the US military advisory force a stepping stone to promotion. However, he disagrees vocally (and on the record) with the way the war is being run and is forced to leave the military. Returning to Vietnam as a civilian working with the Army, he comes to despise some South Vietnamese officers while he takes charge of some of the U.S. forces and continues his liaisons with Vietnamese women.
