Hollywood's relationship with the American military has shaped countless films. Movie studios often rely on military stock footage, equipment, and personnel to reduce production costs. However, the Pentagon only provides support if the scripts portray the armed forces positively. Many of the most realistic war films, such as "Platoon" and "Full Metal Jacket," were created without military assistance. "Operation Hollywood" examines this complex dynamic between filmmakers and the military, revealing the influence of script approval on cinematic narratives.
