Synopsis
“In 1967, John Donohue was a 26-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran working as a merchant seaman when he was challenged one night in a New York City bar. The men gathered had lost family and friends in the ongoing war in Vietnam. One friend proposed an idea many might deem preposterous: one of them should sneak into Vietnam, track down their buddies in combat, and give each of them messages of support from back home, maybe some laughs, and beer.”
Other details
A novel of the same name served as the inspiration for the film. It is a memoir about the eight weeks that John “Chick” Donohue spent in Vietnam bringing beer to his pals and other soldiers who were engaged in combat.
Trailer
