Braddock: Missing in Action III

The events take place in the immediate post-Vietnam War era, after the 1975 fall of Saigon. Southeast Asia is unstable, with ongoing conflicts and covert operations shaping Braddock's mission. The period's uncertainty amplifies the danger of every move across the border.

The action unfolds across Vietnam and its surrounding borderlands. Braddock travels from Vietnam back into the jungle and toward a border crossing, with Thai and Cambodian border stations playing a key role. The setting features jungle camps, a border airstrip, and tense cross-border encounters that shape the mission.

👨‍👦 Family

Braddock's quest centers on protecting his wife Lin and their son Van, turning personal love into a driving force behind the mission. The film repeatedly returns to the theme of family bonds as a source of courage under fire. This focus anchors the action, making every daring move about safeguarding loved ones.

🛡️ Heroism

Braddock demonstrates resourcefulness and fearless resolve as he fights through guards, hijacks a plane, and leads the children to safety. His courage is tempered by the costs of violence and the risk to innocents. The action sequences highlight acts of bravery in the face of brutal opposition.

⚔️ Conflict & Consequence

Set against a backdrop of post-war instability, the rescue mission exposes the lingering violence and shifting loyalties of the era. Authority figures on both sides fear disclosure and manipulation, as seen when Littlejohn undermines Braddock's information. The conclusion shows how war's echoes persist in borders, battles, and rescue efforts.
