Den 18-årige amerikaner Chris melder sig frivilligt til krigstjeneste i Vietnam, hvor han havner i et blodigt helvede. Krigens vanvid viser sig for Chris' øjne under en massakre i en landsby, der ender med en tvekamp mellem delingens to officerer, den kyniske løjtnant Barnes og den hashrygende sergent Elias. Er der overhovedet en mening med krigen? Og kan Chris slippe fra den med livet i behold?
