On 14 Nov.1965 in the Ia Drang Valley of Vietnam, more than 400 troopers from the U.S. 7th Air Cavalry found themselves outnumbered. Nearly 2000 enemy soldiers surrounded them in a small clearing called Landing Zone, and they had to fight like they'd never fought before.

This fact-based tale of men under fire and their acts of valor and loyalty to one another is what became the first--and perhaps the worst--major battle of the Vietnam War.
