Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan - Canberra Preview Screening
by Transmission Films
Free
Description
Transmission Films invites Canberra Weekly readers to a special advance preview screening of the new Australian war epic Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan, directed by Kriv Stenders (Red Dog), and starring Travis Fimmel, Luke Bracey, Daniel Webber and Richard Roxburgh.
Late afternoon August 18, 1966 South Vietnam – for three and a half hours, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, Major Harry Smith (Travis Fimmel) and his dispersed company of 108 young and mostly inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers are fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming force of 2,000 battle-hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. With their ammunition running out, their casualties mounting and the enemy massing for a final assault each man begins to search for his own answer, and the strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honour, decency and courage.
The Battle of Long Tan is one of the most savage and decisive engagements in ANZAC history, earning both the United States and South Vietnamese Presidential Unit citations for gallantry along with many individual awards.
