Oliver Stone's war classic is overlooked sometimes because of it's brutal but long-winded potrayal of the duality of man. This however remains gripping stuff.

Elsket hvordan alle siger den her ikke var bedre en apocalypse now. Såen?🤨 Du kan ikke sammenligne dem med hensyn til genre lol. Det eneste de har til fælles er at det var samme krig og hovedeskuespilleren har samme efternavn

En af de bedste Vietnam krigsfilm, som jeg har set. Charlie Sheen gør det næsten så godt som farmand gjorde det i Apocalypse Now!

En krigsfilm går ju aldrig fel, denna innehåller snygga specialeffekter och dialoger. Gillar även de inre dialoger i filmen och dramatiken i filmen är lyssande. 7/10 Punschrullar.

Frequently asked questions

What is Platoon about? Toggle content

Platoon follows the story of Chris Taylor, a young and naive American soldier who volunteers for duty in Vietnam. Upon his arrival, he is assigned to an infantry platoon near the Cambodian border and witnesses the horrors of war, including a massacre of a village by his own comrades. As he struggles to come to terms with the violence and brutality around him, Taylor finds himself caught between two conflicting leaders: the ruthless and cynical Staff Sergeant Barnes, and the more compassionate Sergeant Elias. The platoon faces a series of intense battles, culminating in a dramatic and devastating climax that will change Taylor forever. Directed by Oliver Stone, Platoon won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and remains a powerful and thought-provoking anti-war film.
