After enduring a lifetime of hardship in her native country at the hands of French colonists and the communist Viet Cong, a young mother (Hiep Thi Le) becomes the wife of a U.S. marine (Tommy Lee Jones) and starts a new life in America. Director Oliver Stone also penned the screenplay for this Vietnam War-era drama with a Golden Globe-winning score, the third and final installment of Stone's Vietnam trilogy.
