Platoon | DVD | 1986 Film | Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe & Tom Berenger | Oliver Stone | New & Sealed

Chris Taylor leaves university to volunteer for combat duty in Vietnam, only to find his ideals tested by the realities of life on the ground. Platoon follows the young soldier as he enters a unit divided by the opposing attitudes of Sergeant Barnes and Sergeant Elias. The struggle to survive becomes inseparable from the question of what kind of man he will become.

Written and directed by Vietnam veteran Oliver Stone, this 1986 war drama draws on the filmmaker’s own combat experience. Charlie Sheen stars as Taylor alongside Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe, with a supporting cast including Forest Whitaker and John C. McGinley. Its focus on the soldiers’ experiences and the fractures within their unit gives the film a powerful, character-led perspective on warfare.
