The battle of la Drang - Detailing one of the most violent battles of the Vietnam conflict, this film tells the real-life story of a cavalry unit that ended fighting enemies that far outnumbered them... many times larger, with the U.S. soldiers out-numbered four to one. To survive, air strikes are called in, and the film shows the results of these air strikes in efficient, precise detail.
