Maximum Action, Maximum Drama! - We Were Soldiers is a powerful & bloody war movie based on a true story that moves at a heart-racing & ear-shattering pace! On Sunday November 14, 1965 at 10.48am, Lt. Col. Hal Moore (a magnificent performance by Mel Gibson) and his regiment of 400 men touch down at Landing Zone X-ray in the La Drang Valley, a place in Vietnam known as "The Valley Of Death". They find themselves surrounded by roughly 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers and the ensuing battle becomes one of the most savage in US history. (Icon Home Entertainment)
