War at its worst. Men at their best.
Vietnam, 1969. Hill 937. 10 days. 70% casualties. Those are the facts--this is the story.
The men of Bravo Company are facing a battle that's all up hill...up Hamburger Hill. Fourteen war-weary soldiers are battling for a mud-covered mound of earth so named because it chews up soldiers like chopped meat. They are fighting for their country, their fellow soldiers and their lives. War is hell, but this is worse. Hamburger Hill tells it the way it was, the it really was. It's a raw, gritty and totally unrelenting dramatic depiction of one of the fiercest battles in America's bloodiest war. Dodge the gunfire. Get caught behind enemy lines. Go into battle beside the brave young men who fought and died. Feel their desperation and futility. This happened. Hamburger Hill--war at its worst, men at their best.

One helluva war film - 3.75 out of 5 (2/25/2000)
I finished watching "Hamburger Hill" just a few minutes ago. I had picked up the movie on the advice of a friend. I was talking about "Saving Private Ryan" and I was discussing how I felt that it was brave of them to show the real effects of war without the usual Hollywood dramatics. I told him how I felt it was truly an original idea.
He countered with; "You ever see "Hamburger Hill?"
I feel like I pretty much know every movie out there and I had heard of the film but never

Before there was Saving Private Ryan there was Hamburger Hill. - 3.25 out of 5 (3/11/1999)
Hamburger Hill is, and I think always will be, one of the greatest war movies ever made. This movie, like Saving Private Ryan, is raw and not for the squeamish but I think that Hamburger Hill has an even better story than Saving Private Ryan. You have characters from all types of backgrounds and none of them come off as stereotypes. Each person deals with war in his own way. Realistically, this brings about conflict between the men that are trying so desperately just to live until their duty
