Trailer For The Vietnam USAF Pararescue Medic Film THE LAST FULL MEASURE with Sebastian Stan and Samuel L. Jackson
“If you want the real story, you'll need to talk to the mud soldiers."
Roadside Attractions has released a trailer for an upcoming film titled The Last Full Measure. It tells the true story of a USAF Pararescue medic named Airman William H. Pitsenbarger, Jr., who saved over sixty men during the Vietnam War. Decades after his death, "Pits" is awarded the nation's highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, for his actions on the battlefield.
Here’s the synopsis:
The true story of Vietnam War hero William H. Pitsenbarger, a USAF Pararescue medic who saved over sixty men in the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division before making the ultimate sacrifice in one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Thirty-two years later, Pentagon staffer Scott Huffman investigates a decades-long Congressional Medal of Honor request for Pitsenbarger and uncovers a high-level conspiracy prompting him to put his career on the line to seek justice for the fallen airman.
This looks like it could be a pretty good movie. I like inspiring war stories! It definitely has a great cast that includes Jeremy Irvine as Pits, Sebastian Stan, William Hurt, Christopher Plummer, Diane Ladd, Samuel L. Jackson, Peter Fonda, Ed Harris, Grant Gustin, Bradley Whitford, Michael Imperioli, Alison Sudol, Amy Madigan, Linus Roache, John Savage, Robert Pine, and Ser'Darius Blain.
The Last Full Measure will be released in select US theaters starting January 24th, 2020.
