A film centred on the Battle of Long Tan, on the 18th of August 1966.
'Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan tells the story of the battle of Long Tan, one of the largest battles fought by the Australian Task Force during the Vietnam War. Although considerable attention has been paid to getting the details right in the mechanics of the battle, the movie depicts the battle devoid of its political or military context.' (Introduction)
'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.' (Introduction)
'Danger Close is a new Australian film depicting one of the most significant battles of the Vietnam war: The Battle of Long Tan. “Danger Close” is a military phrase used in battle when forward and directing fire onto an enemy.' (Introduction)
