"A Rumor Of War" (1980) - Philip Caputo, Vietnam War 'Feature Film' Version

An excellent 1980 TV-Movie based on the 1977 autobiography by Philip Caputo about his service in the United States Marine Corps in the early years of American involvement in the Vietnam War. One of the earliest serious US works of television or film drama to be based on US combat experience in Southeast Asia. This version is the shorter "feature film" released in theaters in some countries outside of the U.S.

The story: Fresh out of Officer's Candidate school, Caputo is eager to experience combat action in Vietnam. When he and his platoon are assigned to the front line, they are decimated by enemy mines and sniper fire. Though he survives the battle, Caputo is determined to strike back. His eagerness costs the lives of two Vietnamese civilians, and he is charged with their murder.

Featuring Brad Davis, Keith Carradine, Brian Dennehy, Richard Bradford, Michael O'Keefe, Stacy Keach, Lane Smith and Christopher Mitchum.
