Product Description

Gene Hackman portrays Colonel Jason Rhodes, a man obsessed, in this powerful, action-packed adventure. For over ten years, Rhodes has been living a nightmare searching for his son who is listed as "missing in action" in Vietnam. After useless appeals to the government for action, Rhodes takes matters into his own hands. With the financial backing of a Texas oil tycoon (Robert Stack) and the help of his son's five marine buddies, Rhodes prepares to carry out a daring mission. After weeks of grueling traning, the courageous veterans leave for Laos. The final battle of the Vietnam conflict is about to begin. (English), Ted Kotcheff continues his First Blood fervor with Uncommon Valor. Gene Hackman stars as Cal Rhodes, a former Marine Colonel who has been getting the run-around for ten years from the government concerning the disappearance of his son and his buddies - all Marines who enlisted years prior and served in Vietnam. Rhodes' son was last seen in Laos, where he was fighting in the war and captured as a POW. When word gets back to Rhodes that the men may still be alive and held in prison camps, but the government still has the men listed as missing in action, Rhodes decides to take matters into his own hands. Contacting an old friend, oil baron MacGregor (Robert Stack), Rhodes is granted financial backing to form his own incursion force. He assembles a crack team of men, puts them through an intensive period of training. And heads back with them into the Laotian jungles to search for the MIAs. (Spanish)

Over the years we have had Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Siege of Firebase Gloria, Rambo II, Hamburger Hill and other Vietnam war movies. These movies showed the harrowing, gritty, and savage aspects that the Vietnam war doled out on soldiers.
Now, what about those soldiers that did not come home? Those soldiers that were left behind? Those soldiers that the U.S. Government did not think were worth rescuing because it was not politically feasible? Well, that brings us to Uncommon Valor.
This is a movie about Prisoners of War who were not forgotten by a group of Veterans who put aside everything, put themselves in harms way, and dared to defy the U.S. Government to do the right thing and bring those soldiers home.
We have Gene Hackman who is the retired Army colenel risking all to find his son and bring him home. Very powerful portayal here by Hackman who is determined to surmount all obstacles and do whatever is necessary and lead his group of men to find the prisoners.
Fred Ward, in a very good role, is an ex-tunnel rat that is still very haunted by a quite traumatic experience he had in a tunnel in Vietnam replete with vivid nightmares. Just as Hackmans character is still haunted by nightmares from the Korean war. Ward, accepting his fears and the trials and tribulations to follow, knows that they cannot leave POW's behind.
Randall "Tex" Cobb is another one recruited who never quite regained touch with society after the war but is admirable in the way that he gives everything in his soul to make sure this mission is a success.
Reb Brown, not a widely known actor as compared to some other characters in this movie, does a fine job as a demolitons expert who gives his life to ensure the success of bringing the boys home.
Patrick Swayze is the young but tough-as-nails ex-Marine who will go to Hell and back to be part of this mission due to his father being shot down in Vietnam and who is Missing in Action. When the other Veterans learn of Swayze's fathers status, they adopt Swayze as one of their own and Swayze does an excellent turn as an inexperienced but very, very determined team player.
Tim Thomerson and Harold Sylvster are the helicopter pilots that absolutely refuse to quit, and, no matter what the odds, they will fly that team and those POW's out of danger no matter what it takes. Both give excellent performances as great pilots under heavy stress.
Lastly we have Robert Stack who, like Gene Hackman's character, has a son who is missing in action and has a vested interest in this mission. Stack finances the whole operation and holds his ground when he is threatened by officials within the government to call off the mission. Stack portrays his part very nicely.
This movie is truly excellent and sends a very clear and decisive message. The United States government thinks it is not worth the effort or politics or trouble to retrieve men lost in a very ugly and very horrifying war. After what those men have been through in the war and in a prison camp, it is worth every dollar, every ounce of pain, every drop of sweat, every tear shed and every conviction of what is right to go and get those men out of that Hell hole and bring them home. There should be no hesitation whatsoever. You DO NOT leave anyone behind.......ever. I would give this movie 10 stars if I could.

A rich man gathers a group of Vietnam veterans to rescue his son, who is being held in a Vietnamese prison camp after the end of the war. Star packed fictional action movie made in 1983. I gave it 4 stars because it gets a little cheesy at times. I still recommend it.

This is one of the best movies ever made pertaining to the rescue of American MIA's from Southeast Asia. The key characters played a brilliant role in this movie and also helped the American people remember about the possibility of MIA's still remaining in Southeast Asia.

Gene Hackman plays Colonel Jason Rhodes, a proud military officer who is at his wit's end 10 years after the Vietnam War has ended, and his son, a fellow Marine officer who had been captured on an operation in Laos in 1972, still remains missing-in-action somewhere in Laos. Rhodes is so persistent in trying to get any info on getting his son back, he is soon forced into retirement and is going to Thailand to offer bribes to anyone who can sneak into Laos to get his son's signature, even if the signature happens to be fakes.

By 1983, Rhodes gets in touch with several members of his son's old unit, including Patrick Swayze, who plays a former Marine who was in fact discharged after striking a radio operator, and with no previous war experience, to help get the men back on a war-footing, in order to penetrate deep into Laos illegally and rescue his son with any other MIA's they encounter. Some of them are reluctant, and one is just plain crazy, being taken out of a jail cell because he happens to like wearing a grenade around his neck. And with the help of a Texas billionaire oil-rig owner who just happens to be missing a son as well from the war, Rhodes takes his plan into action of training the men how to liberate a POW camp and to get supplies for their secret mission into Laos.

Once in Thailand, their supplies are confiscated by the local police and told to leave the country as soon as possible. Undaunted, Rhodes and his team hook up with some contacts, some weapons from the black market, and move through the mountains and into Laos, with an encounter against a border patrol. The force splits up into two teams---one to hijack some helicopters from the Laotian Air Force, and the other to screen the nearby POW camp and to blow up their bridge across the river to prevent enemy reinforcements from reaching the camp.

What happens after that is unexpected, including the unexpected fate of Rhodes' son being told by the liberated son of the Texas oil man himself. Explosions and casualties on both sides, including two out of three helicopters shot down. This movie is the best of it's kind and is a must-see!

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a great film after all these years

I”m pretty sure the first time I saw this film was with my dad on VHS. I loved those days with him and while I don’t remember all the details, it was such afternoons in a theatre or at home watching on TV or VHS when I fell in love with movies. Dad was a movie buff and instilled the love into me as well. So Uncommon Valor... a Gene Hackman war film that takes place after the Vietnam war, when too many young men remained lost off these shores. Hackman’s father character is looking for his MIA son, spending days and months trying to get politicians with no desire to upset talks with the enemy, to help find him. Photos lead him to false hopes, but with the aide of a friend, soon he’s putting together his son’s former unit to go back. Training, returning to a war zone, and their own battle keep things moving, while these men perform the title’s theme: Uncommon Valor. This is a heart-wrenching, well acted, and even today, timely film - still too many never came home. I came to respect so much about the men who risked it all because of my love of films, and from a father who served between Korea and Vietnam. This film is about respect, undying love, and hope.
