- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsMichael J. FoxSean PennDon HarveyDuring the Vietnam War, a soldier finds himself the outsider of his own squad when they unnecessarily kidnap a female villager.Possibly the greatest movie ever made on moral courage. Outstanding performances by Sean Penn as a war-hardenned sargeant and Michael J Fox as a stalwart Christian.
