Plot summary
Directed by: Barry Levinson
Starring: Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker, J.T. Walsh
A new disc jockey named Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) is shipped from Crete to Vietnam to bring humor to Armed Forces Radio. He turns the studio on it's ear and becomes wildly popular with the troops but runs afoul of the middle management who think he isn't G.I. enough. While he is off the air, he tries to meet Vietnamese especially girls, and begins to have brushes with the real war that never appears on the radio.
