Casualties of War
A compassionate U.S. infantryman must confront his own unit after they abduct a Vietnamese woman, risking court‑martial and his life to expose the atrocity and protect the innocent.
“Even in war… murder is murder.”
Synopsis
During the Vietnam War, a soldier becomes an outsider within his own squad after they unjustifiably kidnap a female villager.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
