Running Through the Jungle


Discription: 
These armchair mercenaries and Nam vets are everyday people.  They are a construction worker, an insurance agent, a college professor, a security guard, a telephone repairman, and a nurse, who buy "Soldier of Fortune" magazine; hiding them, as if, they were "Playboy" magazines.  Six men, who have taken their vacations at the same time, are waiting together in a Mexican boarder town until morning, when they will be flown to Central America and dropped behind enemy lines.  They are to “...run through the jungle,” one more time.

The action takes place in a motel room just on the Mexican side of the boarder.  It is 1985.  Gorilla fighting is taking place in Nicaragua.  Some of the men have been to “Boys Town.”  Thad is doing his best DeNiro in the mirror between trips to the bathroom to vomit.
