- Platoon (1987) is a war epic following Chris Tayler and his platoon through a harrowing transformation of their innocence. The film is at times very upsetting and although the violence isn't gratuitously bloody or gross, almost every victim dies slowly and mercy is rare on the battlefield. Also, expect lots of strong language and elements of rape.
