In 1965, Armed Forces Network DJ Adrian Cronauer arrives in Saigon. His irreverent attitude and unconventional humour endear him to the troops but land him in trouble with his superior officers. Robin Williams gives a wild, whirlwind of a performance in this fictionalised story about a real-life AFN DJ. His radio shows and English courses include plenty of laughs, but the film also take a poignant look at military censorship and how the Vietnam War affected the local people.
