In 1962, three young
men from South Dakota fly to San Diego and enter Marine
Corps Boot Camp together. Butch and Danny, his best
friend, survive the rigorous training and the physical
and psychological torment by submissively following
orders and by staying out of harm’s way.
However, the third member of
trio, Jim O’Donnell, an arrogant and insubordinate
college dropout, incurs the immediate wrath of Sergeant
“Teddy Bear” Taddy, a violent and seemingly
mentally unstable drill instructor, who dislikes Jim
intensely and derisively calls him “College Boy.”
At the Rifle Range, Sergeant
Taddy ultimately pushes the abuse and humiliation of
Private O’Donnell too far. As a result, Butch,
fearing for Jim’s very life, must decide whether
or not to get involved.
