Going Back is a 2001 drama starring Casper Van Dien as Capt. Ramsey, a Vietnam War veteran and former Marine C.O of Echo Company who returns to Vietnam with several of his former E Company Marines to film a TV documentary about their reunion. During the reunion, tensions began to rise as the men of E Company blame Ramsey for a friendly fire incident that resulted in the deaths of several Marines. As the men revisit old battlefields, the events leading up to the day in question are shown in a series of flashbacks. The film co-starred Jaimz Woolvett, Bobby Hosea, Pablo Espinosa and Kenny Johnson, and was directed by Sidney J. Furie, who had previously directed the Vietnam War-themed films as The Boys in Company C and Purple Hearts. Sidney J. Furie would later direct a quasi-sequel, 2006's The Veteran, which starred Bobby Hosea and utilized footage from this film. Originally released as a made for television film, Going Back was also released on DVD in the United States under the title Under Heavy Fire.
