The Pentagon Wars

Feb 28, 1998
1h 44m
★ 6.8

They aimed to build the ultimate fighting machine... they missed.

Overview

From the director of “Made In America” and “The Money Pit” comes a hilarious look at one of the most expensive blunders in military history. Over 17 years and almost as many billion dollars have gone into devising the BFV (Bradley Fighting Vehicle). There's only one problem. . . it doesn't work. (Spoiler alert: 25 years later ... it does work.)
