1968 Tunnel Rats (originally titled Tunnel Rats) is a war film directed by Uwe Boll. The film is based on the factual duties of tunnel rats during the Vietnam War. Unlike his most well known films, 1968 Tunnel Rats is not based on a video game but does have a video game based on it.
In a documentary for the film, Boll revealed the movie doesn't have a script, instead the actors are improvising their lines.[1]

A group of US soldiers in Vietnam arrive at base camp in the jungle. The soldiers spend the first day and night getting to know each other. The next morning they begin to explore the Viet Cong's underground tunnel network at Củ Chi. In the tunnels the US soldiers encounter dangers including booby traps and roving Viet Cong. Meanwhile on the surface the Viet Cong also attack the base. As things escalate above and below the ground soldiers for both sides are pushed to the limits of their humanity.
Uwe Boll also released a video game based on the movie. The title was developed by Replay Studios using the Viet Cong engine.[2]
