Tigerland Plot Summary
What happens in Tigerland from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
It is September 1971, a period marked by the realization that the Vietnam War is a losing battle for the United States. Most soldiers, shaped by the ideals of the 1960s Peace Movement, share the sentiment that defeat has been a foregone conclusion for some time. Among them is Roland Bozz, played by Colin Farrell, a draftee with a profound opposition to the war. His unruly nature and blatant disregard for authority set him apart: he frequently disobeys orders and challenges his superiors.
