Platoon [Collector’s Edition]

“A TRIUMPH! A STAGGERING STUDY OF WAR” – The Washington Post

Inspired by Oliver Stone’s own experiences, the anti-war epic tells the tale of PFC Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen, Wall Street), a young Army recruit sent to Vietnam, who witnesses the atrocities of war – some of which are carried out by his fellow soldiers. Heralded by critics as the best film of 1986, Platoon won four of the eight Academy Awards® for which it was nominated*, including Best Picture and Directing, and earned Supporting Actor nominations for co-stars Tom Berenger (Inception) and Willem Dafoe (Shadow Of The Vampire).
