award winning story of three friends who go to Vietnam

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2001)

DeNiro, Walken, and Savage star as three steelworker friends from Pittsburgh who leave for the war in Vietnam. This powerful film examines their lives just before they leave during the war and how it changes them when they come back. This was one of the first films ever to seriously detail the war in Vietnam and how it forever changed the lives of those who served. The film does it very well. Best Picture 1978 On a scale of one to ten.. 8
