Plot: Screenwriter Randall Wallace, a specialist in sweeping historical epics, steps behind the camera for this fact-based Vietnam War drama that reunites him with his Braveheart (1995) star Mel Gibson. Gibson is Lt. Col. Hal Moore, commander of the First Battalion, Seventh Cavalry, the same regiment fatefully led by George Armstrong Custer. As part of the Pleiku Campaign of late 1965, Moore is assigned to an action at Landing Zone X-Ray in the Drang Valley, an area that would come to be known as the The Valley of Death. Moore soon finds himself and his men contained to an area about the size of a football field, surrounded by more than 2,000 enemy troops and engaged in the first major battle of the war. Heroism becomes the order of the day as men like Moore, chopper pilot Bruce Crandall (Greg Kinnear), and Lt. Henry Herrick (Marc Blucas) refuse to yield, in spite of heavy losses of life. The film co-stars Madeleine Stowe, Chris Klein, Keri Russell, and Sam Elliott. We Were Soldiers is based on the book {-We Were Soldiers Once...and Young} by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore (retired) and UPI reporter Joe Galloway (played in the film by Barry Pepper). ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Vietnam...
Added 11/5/2009
I wasn't there, nor do I pretend to know how it really happened, but after reading the book by Galloway and the Colonel, I am glad there was a movie made about our brave soldiers in Vietnam. I am tired of seeing movie after movie bashing our soldiers in Vietnam. This movie also gives the prespective of the Vietnamese soldiers and leadership...

Good movie and recommended to anyone

we were soldiers is my all time favorite movie.
Mel Gibson plays a true caring yet strong Leader who has learned that He will not ask any of his soldiers to do something he would not do'
my favorite quote of the movie is when he says

" I will be the first to land on the island and the last to leave, and no one, dead or alive, will be left behind"

Hate the war, love the warrior

This movie has recieved many reviews over the years. All that I can add to the opinions is that the decision by Maya Lin to have the names in chronological order has never been so clearly validated as when looking at Panel 3 and seeing the names of the 7th Cavalry soldiers killed at the Ia Drang listed as they had died, together.

I received the DVD in a very timely manner, and it was, as posted, brand new and in excellent condition. I've enjoyed the movie over and over again. Thank You for living up to the standard you always have!
