Braddock (Chuck Norris) is an American officer who spent seven years in a North Vietnamese POW camp then escaped. After the war, Braddock accompanies a government investigation team that goes to Ho Chi Minh City to check out reports of Americans still held prisoner. He gets the evidence he
needs then travels to Thailand, where he meets Tuck (M. Emmet Walsh), an old Army buddy turned black market kingpin. Together they launch a mission deep into the jungle to free the American POWs and shoot up a lot of Communists. This is the film that opened the floodgates of Vietnam revisionism
carried to its macho extreme in RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II (1985)--if America couldn't...
