Subscribe FreeBased on an actual incident that occurred during the Vietnam War, a girl is taken from her village by five American soldiers. Four of the soldiers rape her, but Private Eriksson (Fox) refuses. The young girl is killed, but not forgotten. Eriksson (Fox) is determined that justice will be done, even if it means standing up to his commanding officer (Penn). This is a study of how morality can become one of the Casualties Of War.
