In the early years of the Vietnam War, a British journalist fishes for a story to revive his sagging career. He befriends a visiting American doctor and they travel to the north where communists are advancing. The two friends end up in a love triangle when the doctor falls in love with his mistress. However, a brutal car bombing reveals that the doctor is not who he appears. Confusing, at times incoherent plot, Brendan Fraser is flat as the doctor and Michael Caine emotes on cue.
