Robert Redford makes his big-screen debut in this off-beat war drama that tells the tail of a new replacement on the Korean front line. It is his first time in battle, and he comes all starry eyed and eager to prove himself a glorious hero. Obviously a greenhorn, the platoon commander takes the young private under his wing. All too soon, the youth realizes there is little glory in war. He also encounters a lone-wolf soldier whose lust for killing the enemy has turned him into a full-blown and deadly psychopath, leaving the private and his commanders to somehow stop him before he begins killing his own platoon-mates. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

This thoughtful wartime drama, featuring one of Robert Redford's first big-screen roles, arrives on DVD in a simple but effective package. War Hunt has been given a letterboxed transfer at an aspect ratio of 1.66:1, and the audio, mastered in the Dolby Digital process, is presented in its original monophonic format. The feature includes optional subtitles in English, French and Spanish, and the film's original theatrical trailer rounds out the package. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
