Battle of Long Tan
In the gathering dusk of 18 August 1966, 108 young, inexperienced Australian and NZ soldiers are separated and surrounded, fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming force of 2,500 battle-hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. And, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, with their ammunition running out and another Vietnamese battalion massing for the final assault, the digger's situation seemed hopeless. Long Tan is the true story of ordinary boys who became extraordinary men.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film strips away any glamour, portraying war as a chaotic, wet, and filthy ordeal where survival hinges on training and sheer grit. The camera stays close to the soldiers' faces, capturing their fear, resolve, and utter exhaustion.
What lingers after the final frame is a profound respect for the resilience of the human spirit under unimaginable pressure. It's a tough, honest, and deeply moving tribute. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched
Cloying mud, relentless monsoon rain, muffled shouts swallowed by artillery roar. The scent of wet earth, cordite, and fear.
