Genres & Description

Action Drama War

7.0 / 10

In September 1971, a platoon of recruits arrives in Ft. Polk, LA, for infantry training before leaving for war. The final week takes place in Tigerland, a swamp similar to Vietnam. Jim Paxton has enlisted; he wants to experience everything and write books later. He befriends Roland Bozz, a cool Texan with a gift for getting into trouble and for helping misfits get discharges. At least one sociopath in the platoon hates Bozz, even as the sergeants grudgingly recognize his leadership abilities. As the platoon heads into its week in Tigerland, Paxton's body gives out, Bozz makes plans to go AWOL, and the sociopath gets hold of live ammo. Is the Louisiana swamp more dangerous than the DMZ?

Good movie. But Hamburger Hill is a movie people rarely mention when it comes to Vietnam films. Which is weird because it's a great movie - @Thursday, May 5, 2016 12:17 PM

A fun fact: the director of this movie, Joel Schumacher also made classics such as Batman & Robin, Batman Forever, St Elmo's Fire, and The Number 23. But he also directed Falling Down and The Lost Boys. I guess take from that what you will? - @Friday, August 7, 2015 6:31 AM

Took my basic and ait at fort polk in 72 , movie had some similarities , but left some out. Got a kick out of the town , that was supposed to be '' LEESVILLE ' , not that close. The shower and latrine were exact , and all the D.I 'S were hard but fair . Brought back some memories . - @Monday, June 1, 2015 6:12 PM

Does anyone else love Wilson ? He's one of my favourite characters in the movie , even though he's a villain. Kind of the same as Sgt. Barnes from platoon. Barnes is better though. - @Thursday, December 4, 2014 1:32 AM

My dad tells me the story of when they were on the bus from basic....and the bus driver told them 'cause your in tiger land now, when you get off you better be crouched and growling like a tiger! Or something to that effect! - @Monday, October 20, 2014 7:43 AM

If you like this film or any nam film and you also like to read I suggest 'Matterhorn' by karl marlantes big book but its made up in painstaking detail based on his expericence in Nam and an excellent read - @Wednesday, May 15, 2013 11:57 PM

Did Howie Lantzer ever get the money they pretty much stole from him? and did they at least say the movie was based on his book? - @Sunday, September 16, 2012 6:58 PM

TheJimsock

I was there in 1971. The physicality of the trainers was a bit overdone but, otherwise this was a fairly accurate depiction if you keep in mind that it was constructed using compilations of events. The creators of the movie stole the story from the author of the book Howie Lantzer. He had no idea the movie was being made until it came out. - @Tuesday, August 21, 2012 3:19 PM

This movie is SO inaccurate, case in point, there's no such thing as an army "base", it's "post" (i.e. Fort Polk is an Army Post), The Air Force has "Bases", the Marine Corps has "Bases" (i.e. Camp Pendelton is a Marine Base). On the other hand, the Army DOES have Reserve "Bases" called "camps". - @Wednesday, June 1, 2011 2:20 AM

@NorCal4Life925breh If there's a way i could give you lots of "thumbs up" for your comment, i would. I couldn't agree with you more! I trained at Fort Polk in the '60s (Charlie co, 1st bn, 1st training brigade (south fort). Tigerland was in north fort at Fort Polk which was the vietnam AIT for troops who would be sent there afterwards. This movie doesn't even come close to the way it REALLY was back then. Btw, there were no cement barracks (as shown in the movie) but wooden ones. 'Polk was hell! - @Wednesday, June 1, 2011 1:50 AM

There's no Wilson in the trailer, yet he was as big a character as Bozz was. - @Thursday, April 28, 2011 5:31 PM
