During the war, a promise was made to return to collect a falling soldier's remains along with the gold, him, and the gold home to the United States. Upon there return to Vietnam some hiding secrets will finally be revealed after fifty-two years. This is an educational film from different perspectives of the war. There is no sex or nudity, there is, of course, strong language. This film shows the bonds formed by this fire team, and the after-effects of war and the feelings of all countries involved. This was an interesting film, some people will find a reason to write a bad review and say negative things about this film, but the fact of the matter is the truth hurts.
