Editor's note

Oliver Stone's Platoon is a raw, intense portrayal of the Vietnam War, inspired by Stone's own experiences as an infantryman. The film follows a young soldier caught between two sergeants with contrasting views on the war and morality. It's a gritty, ground-level look at the war's brutality and the brotherhood formed in the face of adversity.
