1970 - the height of the Vietnam War. A group of young Forward Air
Controllers based in Thailand are assigned with supporting the
Truck War and the People's War in southern Laos, where the fate of
the Vietnam War, and Laos' very future, is being decided. Tasked
with shutting down the Ho Chi Minh Trail - the North Vietnamese
supply lines running into South Vietnam - literally stopping the
constant stream of trucks in their tracks, these American airmen,
call sign "Nail," fly missions 24 hours a day. Daily they run the
gauntlet of intense anti-aircraft fire to bring in accurate attacks
by American fighter bombers. At night, streams of red tracers
scream up from the ground, seeking the metallic flesh of their
fragile craft. During the day, they search the skies for the
telltale black puffs of smoke that reveal the self-destructive
warheads of the North Vietnamese gunners. Even when tragedy befalls
the group, they perserve with their mission. But will courage and
dedication be enough?
