The Last Full Measure

The Last Full Measure is a 2019 American war drama film based on the true story of Vietnam War hero William H. Pitsenbarger, who saved over sixty men during a rescue mission on April 11, 1966. Thirty-two years later, Pentagon staffer Scott Huffman (Sebastian Stan) investigates a Congressional Medal of Honor request for Pitsenbarger and uncovers a high-level conspiracy behind the decades-long denial of the medal, prompting Huffman to put his own career on the line to seek justice for the fallen airman. The film explores the extraordinary valor and selfless courage of Pitsenbarger, as well as the lives of the veterans he saved, including Ray Mott (Ed Harris) and Takoda (Zach Roerig).
