In 1965, Airman First Class Adrian Cronauer arrives in Saigon to work as a DJ for the Armed Forces Radio Service. Private Edward Garlick takes him to the radio station, where his attitude and demeanor contrast sharply with those of many staff members. Cronauer's show starts with his signature, "Good morning, Vietnam!", and consists of reading strictly censored news and irreverent humor segments, mixed with rock and roll music, which is frowned on by his superiors. Cronauer follows Trinh, a Vietnamese girl, to an English class, where he teaches students American slang and profanity, befriending her brother Tuan. Despite facing backlash from his superiors and the consequences of his interactions with Trinh's brother, who turns out to be a Viet Cong operative, Cronauer's broadcasts continue to gain popularity among the troops.
