The Deer Hunter

Plot:

Michael, Steven and Nick are young factory workers from Pennsylvania who enlist into the Army to fight in Vietnam. Before they go, Steven marries the pregnant Angela and their wedding-party is also the men's farewell party. After some time and many horrors the three friends fall in the hands of the Vietcong and are brought to a prison camp in which they are forced to play Russian roulette against each other. Michael makes it possible for them to escape, but they soon get separated again.

Review:

Rated as one of the Top 250 movies on IMDB. Really good portrayal of the horrors of the Vietnam War and the hardships that people face after it. Good cast with Christopher Walken in a non-wacko type role and De Niro being the to-go-to guy. Walken won the Oscar for it and it won best picture. I'd check it out.

Rating: 4/5
