What happens when an upper-class American teenager drops out of university and signs up to fight in Vietnam? Oliver Stone knows, because he did just that. In Vietnam, his actions earned him a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and several other medals. His screenplay and film about those events, made against the odds in a Vietnam-weary era, were equally decorated by the awards committees.
