| 1954. The dying days of the French war in lndochina. As the battIe of Diên Biên Phu rages, the 317th pIatoon of the French Far East Expeditionary Corps is ordered to destroy their base and evacuate. The French and Laotian soIdiers must brave the Cambodian jungle on foot to reach the safety of French\-held Tao Tsai, hoping to get there before the town falIs.\n\nThe men are optimistic as they set out. But what should be a 48\-hour trek goes wrong almost from the start. After running into a Viet Minh supply base, the 317th pIatoon takes casualties. Their rookie leader, the ideaIistic sub\-Iieutenant Torrens (Jacques Perrin), has spent 18 days in lndochina and insists on carrying the wounded. He cIashes with his adjutant, WiIIsdorf (?runo Cremer), a jaded Wehrmacht veteran of the Russian campaign. A harrowing week\-long journey folIows, through the mountains and across rivers, as the men vainly hope to be saved by air support.\n\nDirected by Oscar®\-winner Pierre Schoendoerffer, and based on his noveI of the same name, THE 317th PLATOON captures the terror and chaos of the last days of the French war in lndochina. This is a classic war fiIm that infIuenced Iater American cinema in Vietnam. |
