在这部极地漫步剧情/战争片中,1972年，一群黑人美国海军陆战队队员被派去越南营救几名战俘。他们深入到越共的腹地。杀入敌阵却孤立无援，只能以自己的决心与毅力完成任务及安全离开。本片是一部典型的越战片，具有其它越战片的优点，如外景，拍摄场面，特技都相当出色，值得一看。
In 1972 Vietnam, a group of United States Marines are sent in to rescue several POW officers. The Landing Zone (LZ) which should have been "cold" actually turns out to indeed be very "hot" (characterized by violent and forceful activity or movement ; very intense). Soon, after a short fight, only four of the soldiers are left alive. Later, the platoon which they were to meet the next day is entirely wiped out with the exception of one nut-case. The small group then arrives at the conclusion that they are all expendable decoys. Between all of the walking, talking, arguing and assaulting between the four soldiers, there are flashbacks to all of their contrite lives before serving in the Corps.
