La storia è divisa in tre parti. L'addestramento, la difesa di un fortilizio dall'attacco notturno dei Vietcong, un colpo di mano in una base nemica. L'attacco viene respinto a prezzo di dure perdite. Il colpo di mano ha successo, ma uno dei personaggi più simpatici, un caporale, ci lascia le penne impalato in una trappola vietnamita. Commento finale di un giornalista al seguito della spedizione ("Non mi crederanno quando racconterò quanto ho visto qui"). Film fortissimamente voluto dal "falco" John Wayne, passerà alla storia come l'unico lavoro di grande impegno dove l'intervento Usa nel Sud-est asiatico è visto in luce favorevole. Osteggiato dai gruppi di sinistra in tutto il mondo, in sé è solo un film di guerra come tanti altri (senza l'impatto emotivo dell'opera precedente di Wayne, La battaglia di Alamo).
