I watched this film off and on, and I was out of town for the past two days.
The film is very long, but it can basically be divided into three parts: the first part is the life of Nick, Stephen and Michael in the small town; the second part is the Vietnam War, when the three were captured and suffered brutally in a prisoner of war camp. The death game was devastated. Under Michael's plan, the three of them escaped successfully; the third paragraph is the life of the three of them after escaping. As a result, the lives of the three of them were completely changed, and the three of them changed from deer hunters to hunted deer.
Small town youth Nick, Stephen and Michael are three happy and carefree young people. They also have a group of friends and girls they like. I drink when I am happy, and I drink when I am unhappy. Although there are occasional disagreements, most of the time I am very happy. The three were drafted into the army. On the eve of their departure, Stephen married his beloved girl Angela, and people warmly helped them hold the wedding. Both Michael and Nick like Mary, but Mary clearly prefers Nick, and Nick confesses to Mary. Nick and Mary agreed to marry when Nick came back from Vietnam.
In the brutal Vietnam, the three fought bravely, but they were no match for the enemy's sneak attack. All three were locked in a water prison. Soldiers in Vietnam play the game of death, which is the kind of gun that puts a bullet in the gun, and then two people each take turns shooting. If you are lucky, you will live, if you are not lucky, you will die. The soldiers bought and left to gamble. Under the threat of death, Stephen has become a little delirious, and Nick is also very scared. Michael forced himself to calm down and searched for a way out. When Michael and Nick became the chips in the game, Michael proposed to increase to 3 bullets. He discussed it with Nick in private, and waited for his signal. Once they were about to act, Nick would cooperate with him. After one round, neither of them died, so Michael took the opportunity to kill the soldiers in the room, and Nick did not hesitate, and the two rescued Stephen. Nick was traumatized, Stephen lost his legs, and Michael returned home.
The three experienced the baptism of death from the Vietnam War. Stephen became disabled and could only live in a nursing home, unable to take care of his wife Angela and children. However, Stephen has been receiving US dollars from Saigon, Vietnam, and quite a few. When Michael saw these, he immediately concluded that Nick was still in Saigon, Vietnam, and was making money from the previous death game. Michael found Nick, but Nick never came back. Michael and Nick play another death game, and Nick dies. Michael is back in town again.
