Collection of four war films. 'Heaven and Earth' (1993), the final instalment in director Oliver Stone's Vietnam trilogy, traces the impact of the war on the life of a young Vietnamese woman. Le Ly (Hiep Thi Le) lives in a village in the Central Highlands, following the traditions that have been in her family for countless generations, but after being mistreated by the Americans and the Viet Cong she is forced to leave for Saigon. When she arrives she begins working as a prostitute and meets US soldier Steve Butler (Tommy Lee Jones). The pair marry and return to America, where Le Ly must attempt to begin her life afresh amidst the supermarkerts and swimming pools of California. 'Escape to Victory' (1981) is set during World War II and focuses on a group of Nazi officers who come up with a propaganda event in which an all-star Nazi team will play a team composed of Allied Prisoners of War in a football match. The prisoners agree, planning on using the game as a means of escape from the camp. 'Gettysburg' (1994) tells the story of the infamous American Civil War battle that took place on 1st July 1863. More than 150,000 Union and Confederate soldiers fought one of the conflict's bloodiest battles, which saw 50,000 men die and came to be regarded as the turning point of the war. In 'Memphis Belle' (1990) the crewmembers of the USAF bomber of the same name are stationed in Britain during World War II and preparing for their record-breaking 25th daylight mission. The mission will be as dangerous as ever, but if they survive they will return to the States as heroes. Starring Matthew Modine, Eric Stoltz and crooner Harry Connick Jr, the film is based on William Wyler's classic 1944 documentary.
