First trailer for Vietnam War drama The Last Full Measure starring Sebastian Stan

November 25, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Roadside Attractions has released a poster and trailer for the upcoming drama The Last Full Measure. Written and directed by Todd Robinson, the film stars Sebastian Stan as Scott Huffman, a respected Pentagon staffer who looks to seek justice for Vietnam war hero William H. Pitsenbarger (Jeremy Irvine) who gave his life to save over sixty men during a rescue mission; take a look here…

THE LAST FULL MEASURE tells the true story of Vietnam War hero William H. Pitsenbarger (Jeremy Irvine), a U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen (also known as a PJ) medic who personally saved over sixty men. During a rescue mission on April 11, 1966, he was offered the chance to escape on the last helicopter out of a combat zone heavily under fire, but he stayed behind to save and defend the lives of his fellow soldiers of the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division, before making the ultimate sacrifice in the bloodiest battle of the war. Thirty-two years later, respected Pentagon staffer Scott Huffman (Sebastian Stan) on a career fast-track is tasked with investigating a Congressional Medal of Honor request for Pitsenbarger made by his best friend and PJ partner on the mission (William Hurt) and his parents (Christopher Plummer & Diane Ladd). Huffman seeks out the testimony of Army veterans who witnessed Pitsenbarger’s extraordinary valor, including Takoda (Samuel L. Jackson), Burr (Peter Fonda) and Mott (Ed Harris). But as Huffman learns more about Pitsenbarger’s courageous acts, he uncovers a high-level conspiracy behind the decades-long denial of the medal, prompting him to put his own career on the line to seek justice for the fallen airman.

The Last Full Measure is set for release on January 24th and features a cast that also includes Christopher Plummer, William Hurt, Ed Harris, Samuel L. Jackson,Peter Fonda, LisaGay Hamilton, Diane Ladd, Amy Madigan, Linus Roache, John Savage, Alison Sudol and Bradley Whitford.
