Hamburger Hill

Movie / Show Details

Hamburger Hill is a 1987 war film directed by John Irvin that recounts the true story of an American infantry squad’s assault on a strategically important Vietnamese position during May 1969. Led by Lt. Frantz (Dylan McDermott) and featuring both experienced soldiers and fresh recruits, the unit fights through relentless combat while grappling with the psychological toll of warfare. Between attacks, the men confront the weight of the antiwar sentiment spreading across America and underlying racial tensions within their ranks, with the steady presence of medic Doc (Courtney B. Vance) helping hold the group together. The ensemble cast includes Anthony Barrile, Don Cheadle, Don James, and Michael Boatman.

This is a single-disc DVD release from Paramount Pictures with a runtime of 110 minutes and an R rating for violence and language.
