Danger Close
A rookie Australian infantryman must rally his inexperienced squad to hold a rubber plantation against overwhelming Viet Cong forces, fighting for survival and honor in the brutal Battle of Long Tan.
“Outnumbered. Outgunned. Never out of courage.”
Synopsis
Vietnam War, 1966. Australia and New Zealand send troops to support the United States and South Vietnam in their conflict against the communist North. The soldiers are young men, many of them recruits and volunteers with no prior combat experience. On August 18, members of Delta Company encounter the brutal reality of war in the dense trees of a rubber plantation known as Long Tân. They number barely a hundred. Opposing them is a large enemy force determined to overwhelm and destroy them.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 25
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
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.
