During the Vietnam War, a squad of U.S. soldiers embarks on a perilous mission to recover sensitive intelligence materials. Their journey leads them into the intricate and treacherous network of tunnels constructed by the Vietcong. As they navigate this subterranean labyrinth, the soldiers confront both external threats and internal conflicts, testing their resolve and camaraderie.

“Ambush” attempts to shed light on a specific aspect of the Vietnam War, focusing on the perilous missions within the Vietcong’s tunnel systems. While it offers intense action sequences and explores themes of brotherhood and survival, critical reception suggests that it may struggle with clichés and a lack of depth. Viewers interested in war films may find it a worthwhile watch, though it may not stand out within the genre.

“Ambush” was released on February 24, 2023, in theaters and on digital platforms. It has received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its intense action and character dynamics, while others found fault with its pacing and plot development​.
