Barry Levinson mixes rock 'n' roll and comedy with the Viet Nam conflict. This movie makes Robin Williams a 'big' screen star. Airman Adrian Cronauer(Williams)is assigned to an Armed Forces Radio station in the DMZ. He brings with him an irreverent, crude, and some times lewd comedy to the air waves. He plays a real good selection of 60's tunes and brings a piece of home to his listeners. Several of his commanding officers don't agree with his style of comedy and wish that he take his rapid-fire wit and banter elsewhere. Of course, the war goes on and so does life.
