Vietnam, 1966. Aussie & Kiwi's answer to the American "Platoon" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0441881/. A mostly green detachment from Down Under is caught up in a struggle with a much larger NVA force. When I say "green", I don't mean they drive electric cars. Very interesting camera angles and usage of slow motion. The soldiers are armed with a mixture of American and European rifles, and NONE have helmets. You'll see the most unusual air delivery of ammo to the trapped troops. Definitly a good movie for airborne ammo collectors, a lot of serious pyrotechnics. And the F-4 Phantoms in the air.

And the movie is as factually correct to the real events as possible, without the usual "Hollywood licence" often seen in movies purporting to be true stories. Advisers to the movie were there.
