Vietnam was a devastating war. From the Communist North to the U.S. supported South, it saw one nation brutally torn apart, and at the heart of it, one man. Lt. Colonel John Paul Vann (Bill Paxton - Titanic, Twister, Apollo 13) is one of the first U.S. senior military advisors sent to Vietnam. Vann is as complex as the war itself - a husband and father who takes lovers as casually as he takes control of every situation...except one. In Vietnam, Vann finds himself fighting a war he cannot win alongside a corrupt and demoralized South Vietnamese Army. But what leads a man to expose the truth and sacrifice his career? To fly from a loving home to war-torn battlefield. To turn from a soldier of strategy to a general of ruthless bombing campaigns which can only destroy what they cannot defeat. A man - a time - a nation of change. What they share together and what tears them apart is A Bright Shining Lie.
