Hailed by critics as a masterpiece, Casualties Of War is based on the true story of a squad of soldiers caught in the moral quagmire of wartime Vietnam. Witness to a vile crime, Private Eriksson (Michael J. Fox, Back To The Future) is forced to stand alone against his fellow soldiers and commanding officer Sergeant Meserve (Academy Award winner - Sean Penn, 2004, Best Actor, Mystic River), a powerful and charismatic man pushed over the edge by the terror and brutality of combat. With sweeping scope, action and raw power, master filmmaker Brian DePalma (The Untouchables) creates a devastating and unforgettable tale of one man's quest for sanity and justice amidst the chaos of war.
