The Last Full Measure
Director: Todd Robinson (“Lonely Hearts,” “Phantom”)
Cast: Jeremy Irvine, Christopher Plummer, Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, Sebastian Stan
Details: Originally slated to star “The Flash” actor Grant Gustin, this inspirational true story army tale swapped him out with the less interesting but not too shabby Jeremy Irvine in a story which jumps between one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War and a present day investigation into a cover-up.
Sebastian Stan plays a young Pentagon investigator teaming with veterans of Operation Abilene to convince Congress to award the Medal of Honor to a courageous Air Force medic, special forces Pararescue Jumper William Pitsenbarger (Irvine), who saved the lives of over sixty Marines in the battle until his own was sacrificed. The cast list is insane with Christopher Plummer, Samuel L. Jackson, Linus Roache, Diane Ladd, Bradley Whitford, Ed Harris, Peter Fonda, William Hurt, Michael Imperioli, Amy Madigan and John Savage in supporting roles.
