Good Morning, Vietnam is a 1965 film based on the story of Adrian Cronauer, a United States Air Force sergeant and radio persona who served during the Vietnam War. The film was written by Mitch Markowitz (Buffalo Bill, Monk) and directed by Barry Levinson (The Natural, Rain Man). Second Lieutenant Steven Hauk (Bruno Kirby) and Sergeant Major Dickerson (J. T. Walsh) have no idea what they're in for when they enlist Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) as the new DJ and radio host for the AFRS (Armed Forces Radio Service) in Saigon. Unlike his predecessors, Cronauer is loud, improvisational, and plays whatever comes to mind. He is immediately liked by everyone, save for his superiors, Lt. Hauk and Sgt. Dickerson who claim his act is childlike and insensitive. Cronauer sits comfortably in his position despite Hauk's numerous efforts to get him kicked off the air. But when Cronauer decides to reveal several truths and atrocities behind the war, he is replaced by Hauk. He must fight to reclaim his position as number one DJ. Robin Williams delivers an exceptional performance, one which earned him a Golden Globe Award. Good Morning, Vietnam was also listed on AFI's 100 Years'100 Laughs list.moreless
