highly recommended

Based on a true story, this action film set in the post-Vietnam era casts Gene Hackman as a retired military man who gets tired of government inaction in tracking down the whereabouts of his son, who has been listed as missing in action in Vietnam. So he gathers and trains a rough group of Vietnam vets to launch his own mission into Laos, where his intelligence tells him the son is being held. Hackman brings sorrowful power to the role of determined father, and has a rugged supporting cast (including Patrick Swayze, Fred Ward, and Randall "Tex" Cobb) to keep the story moving forward, even when the machinations become formulaic. --Marshall Fine

Never leave a man behind

It's every soldier's worst fear: being left behind on the field of battle. Many believe that several soldiers in Vietnam suffered this ultimate fate. It's America's duty to not only seek POWs, but to also bring them home. When red-tape and politics stand in the way as a hindrance to freedom, drastic measures are necessary.

Gene Hackman plays Jason Rhodes, a Korea vet who has been hired by Harry McGregor (Robert Stack) to succeed where democracy has failed. Both have sons they believe to be POWs in Vietnam, and they intend to organize a daring rescue mission.

Rhodes gathers many members from his son's former unit, a motley crew consisting of an explosives expert (Blaster - played by Reb Brown); a tunnle-rat, jungle warfare expert (Wilkes - played by Fred Ward); a wild man, warrior who is a little too attached to a grenade (Sailor - played by Randall "Tex" Cobb), and two helicopter pilots (played by Tim Thomerson and Harold Sylvster) for the evacuation of POWs. They set up training at a replica POW camp in Galveston, TX - financed by McGregor. There, they meet with Scott, played by Patrick Swayze, whose father is MIA in Vietnam. Scott desperately wants to go on the mission, and his presence amongst seasoned vets creates tension at first. Eventually, however, the team bonds, Scott is treated as equal, and the team is ready for the mission.

What follows is a daring rescue mission with selfless acts, incredible heroism, daring rescues, and a perfect resolution - the ending all viewers want.

One of the most unheralded Vietnam movies out there, and one of the best. It leaves a vivid message that our government should follow, and our enemies should fear: we never leave a man behind. No matter how difficult, dangerous, or politically incorrect, ALL troops should return home.

Uncommon Valor Is Reality.

Uncommon Valor is a outstanding motion picture that should be viewed by politicians and war mongrels around the globe. Gene Hackman in Uncommon Valor gave his true feelings and thoughts of a government who leave their men behind in wars (POW's). This movie should and shall be rated above all war films, due in part because the men deplicted on the film fought for freedom of men that their government had forgot. And the men on the film had to lay their lives on the line for real this time with a righteous cause of good. *****

Best of all the '80's Vietnam movies

This movie was forerunner to all the other '80's Vietnam movies with a storyline of finding MIA's in Vietnam. By far it is the best of them all! My wife is not a big fan of military movies but even she loved this movie. I would pick this movie above any others including the Chuck Norris series (Missing in Action) or even Stallone's Rambo (First Blood Part 2). If you get only one Vietnam MIA movie...this is the one you need.
