The first casualty of war is innocence.
As a young and naive recruit in Vietnam, Chris Taylor faces a moral crisis when confronted with the horrors of war and the duality of man.
"This is a great American movie -- easily the most powerful film of the year."

"Platoon evokes Vietnam more intensely than any previous film, and at the same time drowns it in all the particularities, infused by boredom, exhaustion, terror, of what it meant to fight there."
— Richard Combs
