Synopsis:
Over 35 years ago, during
the Vietnam War, American bombs rained down on Laos in the ‘Secret War’,
leaving it the most bombed country, per capita, in history. The deadly
legacy of this destruction continues, with the country still scattered
with unexploded ordnance.
A huge live bomb is found behind a village school and straight-talking,
laconic Australian bomb disposal specialist Laith Stevens arrives to
check it out. He’s in the process of training a new ‘big bomb’ team, so
reluctantly leaves the bomb’s disposal until the team is up to the task.
Reluctant, because rural poverty has triggered a brisk illegal trade in
bomb scrap metal and the local children are out hunting for bombs.
In order to find the right person to deal with the very dangerous bomb
behind the school, Laith will take his team of fledgling bomb disposal
specialists down to a remote area of the Ho Chi Minh Trail where they
will test their new skills on live bombs for the first time.
