Platoon (1986)

A harrowing and unforgettable portrayal of the Vietnam War, Platoon is a groundbreaking war drama directed by Oliver Stone. The film follows Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen), a young soldier who volunteers for duty only to find himself caught in the moral and physical horrors of war. Torn between two sergeants with opposing ideologies—Elias (Willem Dafoe) and Barnes (Tom Berenger)—Chris faces brutal battles, ethical dilemmas, and the loss of innocence.
