Le Colonel Mike Kirby est chargé de réunir deux équipes de soldats d'élite dits Bérets Verts ("Green Berets"), pour une mission au Sud Viêt-nam. Sur place, ils doivent tout d'abord construire un camp et le défendre contre l'attaque ennemie, avant de mener une opération commando en kidnappant un Général nord-viêtnamien.

This is what happens when, to support pro-war propaganda, you use the forests of North America in the fall to represent the impenetrable jungle of Vietnam and when you cast a pudgy, fifty-one-year-old John Wayne in a role which makes even Rambo look like a sniveling coward. And they meant this deadly seriously. But that is what makes this a perfect, although unintentional comedy. ()
This is truly a weak war film. It is unnecessarily drawn out without much of a story to tell. The individual characters are pseudo-dramatic and comedic, which is a shame, especially the humor in certain cases, and the color doesn't suit it well either. It's simply just a war film that happens to have John Wayne. ()
