The Siege of Firebase Gloria
1988 · 97 min · Director: Brian Trenchard-Smith
Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
The film's thin veneer of social propriety (the story of how the VietCong came under Hanoi's control) is merely a cover for a rolicking old-time battle tale, complete with a hard-tack sergeant, his rebellious sidekick, and a demoralized base that needs to be whipped into shape before the VietCong attack.
