Cliched, much-maligned, but thoroughly enjoyable post-Vietnam war movie. Enjoyable ensemble led by Hackman.

Looks like the final battle of the Vietnam conflict is about to begin. A sort of Missing combined with The Dirty Dozen, but not as good as either of those movies.

This Movie is Underrated & few know about it.This Movie is one of my Favorite Movies of Courage.They go back & Rescue the Men, forgotten, & left behind in Prison Camps in Laos as a result of the Vietnam War.It is really quite amazing, I have seen it several times.I talk about this Movie & think about it all the Time, it made an impact on me
