Vietnam 1969. Napalm Dreams follows a platoon of American soldiers—each hiding a troubled past—as they navigate the brutal realities of combat and the psychological weight of their secrets. Bound by shared trauma and lies, the men rely on dark humor and fragile camaraderie to survive, even as the truth of who they were slowly unravels. When Private Dooley is captured and subjected to psychological torment, his final act underscores the war’s futility and the haunting cost of living a life built on deception.
