Help me remember this movie.

I've been racking my brain for the past couple of weeks and for the life of me I cannot come up with the name.

Unfortunately, the only vivid scene that I remember is the US embassy in Saigon (?) and people trying to climb over the fence as the marines try to keep them out save for US citizens.

I apoligize for the sketchy details...Thanks.

Are you thinking of the musical, Miss Saigon?

Oh, one more thing, I remember seeing this in the 80's or very early 90's.

I don't recall it being a musical.

Hey, wasn't there a Chuck Norris movie with this scene in it? MIA 3, perhaps?

Actually, aren't there several movies with scenes like this?

I seem to remember a scene like this in Heaven and Earth as well.

Killing Fields would've been my choice too. Very different movie than MIA 3

Funny how one description can bring up so many movies.

First movie that came to mind for me was Oliver Stone's Heaven and Earth.

The Year of Living Dangerously takes place in Indonesia not Viet Nam.
