Synopsis Hailed by critics as a masterpiece, Casualties of War is based on the true story of a squad of soldiers caught in the moral quagmire of wartime Vietnam. Witness to a vile crime, Private Eriksson (Michael J. Fox, Back to the Future) is forced to stand alone against his fellow soldiers and commanding officer Sergeant Meserve (Sean Penn, Dead Man Walking), a powerful and charismatic man pushed over the edge of barbarism by the terror and brutality of combat. With sweeping scope, action and raw power, master filmmaker Brian De Palma creates a devastating and unforgettable tale of one man's quest for sanity and justice amidst the chaos of war.

Customer Review A Remarkable De Palma Revelation... - 4.5 out of 5  (1/23/2002) Following the success of The Untouchables, Brian De Palma had become hot property with many studios. For his next film, De Palma would tackle something you'd never expect him to talk about; the war in Vietnam and the horrendous effect it had on the youthful soldiers who took part in it. De Palma at first wanted to stray as far away from making any film about Vietnam for numerous reasons.
