Tom Jeffrey's classic Australian film The Odd Angry Shot is set in the late 1960s in the war Australians shared with the United States: the struggle for Vietnam.
Harry (Graham Kennedy), is a hard-edged SAS corporal who is serving his second tour of duty in Vietnam. In his new company of regular soldiers is the naive Bill (John Jarrett); the easygoing and laconic Bung (John Hargreaves); the blunt hard-driving Rogers (Bryan Brown); the pragmatic and matter-of-fact Dawson (Graeme Blundell) and the youthful innocent Scott (Ian Gilmour).
Because of their training as professional soldiers, from Australia's most highly trained and toughest army unit, and their instinctive good humour, these men believe they can deal with any situation - but in truth, they are ill prepared for the harsh realities of armed combat. When the first, odd angry shot rings out and some of their comrades lie dying around them, the men realise that their protective shield of humour is in fact, no defence at all.
