We Were Soldiers

We Were Soldiers

2002

In the first major battle of the Vietnam War, 450 gung-ho Army dogfaces square off for one month against 2,000 North Vietnamese regulars in the Ia Drang Valley. Mel Gibson's a lieutenant colonel who exhorts his men to be all they can be, and Barry Pepper (the bible verse-spouting sharpshooter in Saving Private Ryan) plays a reporter who draws a bead on the story.

Father. Husband. Brother. No man is just a soldier.
