Set in 1968, the movie follows lifelong friends from a working-class Pennsylvania steel town Michael, Nick and Steven as they join the Vietnam War. It's an in-depth examination of the ways in which the U.S. Vietnam war impacts and disrupts the lives of people.
The Deer Hunter is a rich and powerful picture that without a trace of patronisation or the slightest touch of cultural superiority, speaks eloquently for the inarticulate.
