Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan (2019) chronicles the harrowing events of August 18, 1966, when a small contingent of 108 young and largely inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers found themselves in a desperate battle against a formidable enemy force of 2,500 seasoned Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. Set in a remote Vietnamese rubber plantation known as Long Tan, the soldiers, led by Major Harry Smith, faced an arduous three-and-a-half-hour ordeal in torrential rain and treacherous terrain. As ammunition dwindled and casualties rose, each soldier grappled with their own fears and sought the inner strength to endure. The film delves into the personal journeys of these soldiers as they fought not only for survival but also for honor, decency, and courage. The Battle of Long Tan stands as one of the most brutal and pivotal engagements in ANZAC history, earning the United States and South Vietnamese Presidential Unit Citations for bravery, along with numerous individual accolades. The battle resulted in the loss of 18 Australian lives and over 500 enemy casualties, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of military history.
