In this adaptation of David Rabe's savage play Robert Altman offers an intense dramatic film in which a group of young recruits in desolate Vietnam-era barracks come to terms with their prejudices. Billy and Roger have learnt to ignore their racial differences and have become good friends. Richie's obviously effeminate personality alarms the others but it is not until Carlyle an angry black man arrives that these tensions boil over. This film is brimming with anger violence confusion and fear.

A group of young U.S. Army recruits wait in an army barracks to be sent to Vietnam. Their numbers include two blacks, a country hick, and a homosexual, with two Korean veteran sergeants attempting to keep order. Tensions mount with the arrival of the argumentative Carlyle (Michael Wright), and the potent melting pot of emotions inevitably erupts into violence. Robert Altman directed the film on a single set.
