When his manic radio show proves a colossal morale-booster, Armed Forces Radio deejay Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) gets sent to Vietnam, where his monkeyshines tickle the troops but land him in hot water with his superiors. The powers that be prefer Cronauer's broadcasts to be sanitized and uncontroversial -- but after encountering war's horror firsthand, he makes the egregious mistake of telling his audience the truth.
