Inspired by Oliver Stone's own experiences, this anti-war epic tells the tale of PFC Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen), an Army recruit sent to Vietnam, who witnesses the atrocities of war – many of which are carried out by his comrades. 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 Director for Oliver Stone, and earned Supporting Actor nominations for co-stars Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe.
