A claustrophobic, high-tension Vietnam War thriller that traps soldiers in underground tunnels for a desperate survival mission against an unseen, infiltrating enemy.

When a small outpost is ambushed, a US Army squad must take the battle below ground on a high-stakes mission in a new type of warfare the likes of which they have never seen.
