Kaptein Willard må ta Kurtz av dage. Oppdraget blir et drepende dypdykk i krigens galskap. Kaptein Benjamin Willard glir inn og ut av søvnen på et lummert hotellrom i Saigon. Minnene fra krigen ligger som et filter foran fornuften. Ingen ting betyr noe lenger for den skilte kapteinen som har sett alt av menneskelig nedrighet i den vietnamesiske jungelen.

Kledd i en helt ulovlig uniform og med en oppførsel som kan gi enhver innbarket rekruttplager hjerteinfarkt, ankommer diskjockeyen Adrian Cronauer til Saigon.

Han er flere dagsmarsjer bortenfor grensen som er satt opp for programinnholdet. Adrian Cronauer blir soldatenes helt, befalets mareritt og den merkeligste mann fra vesten sivilbefolkningen noen gang har opplevd.

Led by the inexperienced and idealistic sous-lieutenant Torrens, fresh out of the military academy, and by adjutant Willsdorf, a WWII veteran of the Werhmacht, the group must cross 150 kilometers of jungle.

In 1966, Dieter Dengler was shot down over Laos, captured, and, down to 85 pounds, escaped. Barefoot, surviving monsoons, leeches, and machete-wielding villagers, he was rescued. Now, near 60, living on Mt. Tamalpais, Dengler tells his story: a German lad surviving Allied bombings in World War II, postwar poverty, apprenticed to a smith, beaten regularly. At 18, he emigrates and peels potatoes in the U.S. Air Force. He leaves for California and college, then enlistment in the Navy to learn to fly. A quiet man of sorrows tells his story: war, capture, harrowing conditions, escape, and miraculous rescue. Where did he find the strength; how does he now live with his memories?
