War Junkies

Leaving a position covering Los Angeles events in the early 70's, Jim Bennet becomes one of NBC's most aggressive and comprehensive Vietnam war correspondents. Digging deep into the misfortunes of the ill-advised war, Bennet's commitment leads him to being fully embedded with U.S. troops deep inside the Vietnam theater of war. Exasperated by the military and the chaos of war, Bennet surrenders to the temptations of alcohol, women and violent behavior. Soon though, he and his international colleagues find themselves caught behind enemy lines deep in the jungles of Cambodia where he snaps back into the reality of purpose, walking the increasingly fine line between reporting and self-preservation. War Junkies is a tale that reflects the heroic commitment made by a few to bring the truth back to the many.
