'The Battle of Long Tan, which took place on August 18, 1966, in a rubber plantation close to the Australian base camp of Nui Dat, is vividly brought to the screen by the very eclectic director Kriv Stenders, whose CV includes family fare (Red Dog), a bloody crime thriller (Kill Me Three Times) and even semi-experimental works (Boxing Day). Working with screenwriter Stuart Beattie, Stenders has produced a tribute to the young men, many of them conscripts, who fought in that bloody conflict against far superior Vietcong forces.'
