Details

The Last Full Measure (2020) is a gripping war drama that pays homage to the incredible sacrifice and bravery of Airman William H. Pitsenbarger, Jr., known as Pits. Set 34 years after Pits' death, the film tells the remarkable true story of his heroism on the battlefield and the long overdue recognition he receives.

Pits, played by Jeremy Irvine, served as a pararescue medic during the Vietnam War, where he saved numerous lives before sacrificing his own. The movie centers around the efforts of Scott Huffman, portrayed by Sebastian Stan, a Pentagon staffer tasked with investigating Pits' case for a possible Medal of Honor award. Through a series of interviews with surviving soldiers, Huffman uncovers the immense impact Pits had on the lives he touched.

Led by an impressive ensemble cast including Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Plummer, and William Hurt, The Last Full Measure takes viewers on an emotional journey as flashbacks to Pits' courageous actions unravel. The film delves into the post-war struggles faced by the soldiers who survived thanks to Pits and their determination to see him properly honored.

This powerfully conveyed story explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the enduring bonds of brotherhood. With its stellar performances and expertly crafted narrative, The Last Full Measure is a must-watch for audiences seeking a compelling tribute to an unsung hero.
