Don't Cry, It's Only Thunder (also known as Vietnam: Hell or Glory (Australia)) is a 1982 film directed by Peter Werner and written by Paul G. Hensler, set in the Vietnam War.
The story centers around Brian Anderson (played by actor Dennis Christopher), a soldier who is only out for his own neck, who ends up drawn into taking care of orphans in a nearby orphanage, keeping a promise to a friend who was killed in action. At first, he views the task with a degree of annoyance, then slowly begins to warm up to the orphans, risking his life and his career to protect them. Robert Englund (better known as Freddy Krueger) played the role of Tripper. Susan Saint James played a doctor and the love interest to Brian Anderson.
