Weekend War is a made-for-television action adventure war film directed by Steven Hilliard Stern and starring Daniel Stern and Stephen Collins. Written by brothers Dennis and Steven Hackin, it premiered on the ABC network on Monday February 1, 1988.

Plot

The plot concerns a rag-tag group of U.S. Army reservists who are deployed to Honduras to build a runway. After an intervention by the U.S. Embassy, the crew are then sent to a dangerous nearby village to repair a bridge. The title comes from one particular character's death scene, wherein he remarks, "Two tours in 'Nam I never get hit. This is a lousy weekend war!"

Cast

Reception

Actor Charles Haid called this film Stephen Collins' best performance ever in an interview with The Washington Post. He enjoyed working on the film, saying: "We shot it for 20 days in a jungle in the rain, under the sun, with bugs ... It was great. This time we got to say something. That's why I'm happy I did it: I am actually involved in a project that I believe in 100 percent."[1]

Home media

The film was released on VHS in 1992 by Columbia Tristar Home Video.
