## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You're a grunt in Vietnam, 1969. You climb a hill. But every advance meets a wall of bullets and a cascade of mud. Irvin directs with stark realism, avoiding sentiment. The film lingers, a reminder of war's cost, beyond rhetoric.

**Mood tags**: gut-punch, raw, slow-burn
