Synopsis

FIXIN' TO DIE RAG is the true story of helicopter pilots and their crews in Vietnam. It’s the story of young warriors that were called to duty by conscience or country. They flew hazardous missions; they fought a deadly enemy; they prevailed against horrific odds; some good men died. This is the story of Charlie Company of the First Cavalry Division’s 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion. They were decorated with medals of valor and Purple Heart—far too many Purple Hearts.Fasten your seat belts and join them in the war-torn Vietnamese skies of 1970.
