Moore soon finds himself and his men contained to an area about the size of a football field, surrounded by more than 2,000 enemy troops and engaged in the first major battle of the war.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

both sides of the story submitted by shumoon on October 25, 2014, 12:53pm I liked how this film showed the NVA's point of view, even though the Americans are the protagonists.

WWS submitted by a2sue on July 23, 2017, 3:43am We Were Soldiers was an OK war film, but nothing special.

I like most Gibson Movies, whether he plays in them or directed them. Not this one. submitted by Tassos on January 2, 2019, 9:40am I like most Gibson Movies, whether he plays in them or directed them. Not this one.
