Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Colonel James Braddock is an American officer who spent seven years in a North Vietnamese POW camp, then escaped 10 years ago. After the bloodiest war, Braddock accompanies a government investigation team that goes to Ho Chi Minh City to check out reports of Americans still held prisoner. Braddock gets the evidence then travels to Thailand, where he meets Tuck, an old Army buddy turned black market kingpin. Together, they launch a mission deep into the jungle to free the American POWs from General Trau. Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com} |

| Quotes |
Gen. Tran:
Colonel Braddock, is it not true that during the war there was a price on your head of 5,000 American Dollars? Col. James Braddock: It was more like 20,000. Why don't you tell us why there was a price on my head? Gen. Tran: For your war crimes, of course. Col. James Braddock: For killing assholes like you! See more » |
