Synopsis:

In the gathering dusk of 18 August 1966, 108 young, inexperienced Australian and NZ soldiers are separated and surrounded, fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming force of 2,500 battle-hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. And, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, with their ammunition running out and another Vietnamese battalion massing for the final assault, the digger's situation seemed hopeless. Long Tan is the true story of ordinary boys who became extraordinary men.

The true story behind the heroic deeds of a small group of young Australian & New Zealand soldiers in one of the most pivotal, dramatic and shocking battles of the Vietnam War. Their bravery placed a new glow on the ANZAC legend.

South Vietnam, August 1966, a rubber plantation called Long Tan. The story of a group of 108 young Australian and New Zealand soldiers who held off 2,500 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers for three hours.
