This was one of the best war films on record! Gene Hackman and his fellow soldiers do an outstanding job in recreating a rescue mission in one of the most difficult terrains in Asia..such realism is unbelievable.. where do they get such extras ..it's almost unbelievable the ways these sets are constructed ..this film deserves 4 stars unreservedly!
