The Siege of Firebase Gloria
Directed by Brian Trenchard-SmithThe film's thin veneer of social propriety (the story of how the VietCong came under Hanoi's control) is merely a cover for a rolicking old-time battle tale, complete with a hard-tack sergeant, his rebellious sidekick, and a demoralized base that needs to be whipped into shape before the VietCong attack.

The Siege of Firebase Gloria Ratings & Reviews
- Robert LileDecember 6, 2025My all time favorite R.Lee Ermey film! There’s plenty of action in this one folks.
- Mister ArnSeptember 9, 2025“The Siege of Firebase Gloria” puts R. Lee Ermey in a familiar drill-sergeant role, though here he reveals flashes of humanity beneath the bark. The plot is simple: a remote firebase under relentless attack, but its raw, nonstop violence gives it a gritty drive. It’s a B-movie at heart, yet Ermey’s presence makes it worth watching.
- TubzJuly 26, 2025Excellent Vietnam war move allowing R. Lee Ermey to do what he does best, fight as a marine.
