It's 1965 and the conflict in Vietnam is about to be turned up a major notch. Keeping spirits high in the fields is Armed Forces Radio airman Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams), whose manic morning show's bawdy nature has the troops in hysterics...and a mean-spirited Sgt. Major up in arms. While the radio controversy comes to a head and the war continues to escalate, Cronauer finds himself involved in a personal dilemma that could cost him everything.
