Ugly American, The (Blu-ray)

In this volatile political thriller based on the critically acclaimed best-selling book, a compassionate American ambassador to the strife-torn Southeast Asian nation of Sarkhan tries to keep the Communists in the north from overrunning the weakened democracy in the south by making sure a vital road into the country's inaccessible interior goes through. But, from his very arrival, The Ugly American is met with suspicion and hate even by an influential freedom fighter now suspected of being a Communist agent.
