The men of Bravo Company are facing a battle that's all uphill... up Hamburger Hill. Fourteen war-weary soldiers are battling for a mud-covered mound of earth so named because it chews up soldiers like chopped meat. They are fighting for their country, their fellow soldiers and their lives. War is hell, but this is worse. Hamburger Hill tells it the way it was, the way it really was. It's a raw, gritty and totally unrelenting dramatic depiction of one of the fiercest battles of America's bloodiest war. Dodge the gunfire. Get caught behind enemy lines. Go into battle beside the brave young men who fought and died. Feel their desperation and futility. This happened. Hamburger Hill - war at its worst, men at their best.

I can remember my dad bringing this film back home from the video shop back in the 80's.I enjoyed the film alot watching it a few times before taking it back.When i saw the film on play.com i orderd a copy and i still think it is as powerful today.It is a close up war film that gets you involved with young troops in vietnam war. VERY POWERFUL !!

"Sandwiched?"YES"Between Platoon and Full metal jacket,i remember the 80,s Vietnam movie re-vival realy well,& this and those other two where the biggies.Platoon and Full metal jacket always got the big Attention"Obviously with the Oscars and the Kubrick return.The thing is,Hamburger hill is a gem of a war movie and ive always found it to be the more satisfying of the 3 films.The Acting,cinematography,soundtrack and War scenes are all first rate.It realy is the un-sung Hero of the 80,s Vietnam Movies,& lovely cover Art too as usual"i drew it once in Art and got a"E"For copying,ha,ha.

in contrast to its most famous rival Platoon, Hamburger Hill was about a war that was fought over so violently between the americans trying to gain a foothold over a fiercly defended Viet Cong position that was fraught with danger and booby traps to say the least.
Another good film based on the vietnam war but not as famous as Full Metal Jacket and Platoon but defitnitley a cult classic!
