IMDb profile

Operation Dumbo Drop is a 1995 live-action movie. It is loosely based on true events which took place 1968, in the tiny Vietnamese village of Dak Nhe.

Synopsis

During the Vietnam War, a village that American forces are using to spy on the Ho Chi Minh Trail has its sacred elephant killed by the North Vietnamese Army because they were cooperating with the Americans. The villagers need an elephant for a ceremony that will occur within the week. Special Forces Captain Sam Cahill (Danny Glover), an easygoing man who is heading home, and his hotheaded replacement Special Forces Captain T.C. Doyle (Ray Liotta) scrounge up another elephant with the help of sneaky Supply Chief Warrant Officer Three David Poole (Denis Leary), luckless farmboy 101st Airborne Specialist Five Lawrence Farley (Corin Nemec), and short-timer 101st Airborne Specialist Four Harvey Ashford (Doug E. Doug), and transport it across South Vietnam to get it to the village on time, running into all sorts of transport problems, personality conflicts, and an NVA unit that wants the Americans out of the village.

Trivia

In the Simpsons episode Midnight Rx, Grampa Simpson is presented with a 'souvenir' Operation Dumbo Drop jacket. Incredibly, only three were ever purchased.
