"Somebody once wrote, 'Hell is the impossibility of reason.' That's what this place feels like. Hell."

Inspired by Oliver Stone's own experiences, this anti-war epic tells the tale of PFC Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen, Wall Street), a young Army recruit sent to Vietnam, who witnesses the atrocities of war – many of which are carried out by those Chris calls "comrades."
