Underneath his gruff exterior, though, Plumley's a loyal old soul willing to lay down his life for his buddy. There's one particularly mawkish scene early on that, even if it is factual, made me wince. Scroll down for resources, mod and verification applications, Discord listings and more. Their victory reinvigorated (albeit briefly) the Indians' waning struggle against the white man's advancement across the West. They are, after all, the 7th Cavalry, which U.S. history buffs will recall was also Gen. George Custer's regiment. I thought this was an old war movie cliche by now.

And, no, you shouldn't have to read the book to enjoy or understand the film.

We also never really get to know much about the Moore family except that Hal's a devout Catholic and his wife is a Methodist. The script also illustrates how the Vietnamese dealt with the Americans' predecessors.

Later, she and Barbara Geoghegan (Russell) assume the unenviable task of informing the wives of Hal's men that were killed in action.

Maj. This 118-page script only covers the first four days of the Ia Drang battle, ending with Moore and the remainder of his men finally being relieved by fresh troops.
