Chris Taylor is a young, naive American who gives up college and volunteers for combat in Vietnam. Upon arrival, he quickly discovers that his presence is quite nonessential, and is considered insignificant to the other soldiers, as he has not fought for as long as the rest of them and felt the effects of combat. Chris has two non-commissioned officers, the ill-tempered and indestructible Staff Sergeant Robert Barnes and the more pleasant and cooperative Sergeant Elias Grodin. A line is drawn between the two NCOs and a number of men in the platoon when an illegal killing occurs during a village raid. As the war continues, Chris himself draws towards psychological meltdown. And as he struggles for survival, he soon realizes he is fighting two battles, the conflict with the enemy and the conflict between the men within his platoon. 告诉你真实的越战。Personal or Political。生与死的逻辑。I don't know what's right or wrong anymore.。从战争中观察人性－《野战排》。没有英雄的战争。从直升机看到他的时候。目前看过的最好越战片。从视听语言上分析《野战排》。导演说。 泰勒（查理•辛 Charlie Sheen 饰）是越战期间的一名美国大学生，他前往越南前线去服兵役，被分到了一个步兵部队。部队里有两个人一直对他影响颇大——伊莱亚斯（威廉•达福 Willem Dafoe 饰）和巴恩斯（汤姆•贝伦杰 Tom Berenger 饰）。他们两人对战争的看法截然不同，前者不忍残杀无辜，而后者却杀人如麻，泰勒心里非常迷惑，到底谁对战争的看法才是正确。 巴恩斯展开了一场残忍的屠杀，越南整条村落都流血成河。伊莱亚斯力劝好友不要如此残暴，却遭致二人关系的裂缝。巴恩斯更怀疑伊莱亚斯向上司打小报告，友谊变为妒恨。于是，在一次丛林战争中，他背着所有人，向伊莱亚斯扣下了扳机。 泰勒却洞察了这一切，他心里终于有了答案。
