The movie, Platoon, is a powerful, intense and starkly brutal depiction of America's involvement in the Vietnam War.  The central plot of the movie centers on Chris Taylor a young, naive American who upon his arrival in war torn Vietnam, quickly discovers that he must do battle not only with the Viet Cong but also with the gnawing fear, physical exhaustion and anger growing within him.  While his two commanding officers draw a fine line between the war they wage against the enemy and the one they fight with each other, the conflict, chaos and pure hatred overtake Taylor suffucating his realities and numbing his feelings about life itself.  This movie won four Academy Awards including Best Picture and was based on the first hand experience of Director Oliver Stone.  Other features included with this dvd include: 1) Tour Of The Inferno Documentary Featuring Interviews with the Director, Cast and Crew; 2) Audio Commentary By Oliver Stone and Captain Dale Dye who was the military advisor to the director; 3) Photo Gallery and 4) Original Theatrical Trailer.  Starring Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe and Charlie Sheen among others.  Widescreen in color.  Released in 1986.  Runtime 120 minutes.
