Tre giovani amici di origine ucraina, operai in un'acciaieria di Clairton (Pennsylvania), partono per il Vietnam dopo aver festeggiato il matrimonio (rito ortodosso) di uno di loro. Catturati dai Vietcong, subiscono la tortura della roulette russa, ma riescono a fuggire. Mike (De Niro) rimpatria, carico di medaglie; Steven (Savage) perde le gambe e Nick (Walken) trova a Saigon la morte che aveva cercato con accanimento. All'inferno e ritorno. Il Vietnam occupa la parte centrale e un breve capitolo (enfatico) verso la fine, in cadenze di un'apocalisse allucinata, di un carnevale di morte.
