Weekend War is a television film directed by Steven Hilliard Stern and starring Daniel Stern and Stephen Collins. Written by brothers Dennis and Steven Hackin, it premiered on the ABC network on Monday February 1, 1988.

Plot

The plot concerns a rag-tag group of U.S. Army reservists who are deployed to Honduras to build a runway. After an intervention by the U.S. Embassy, the crew are then sent to a dangerous nearby village to repair a bridge. The title comes from one particular character's death scene, wherein he remarks, "Two tours in 'Nam I never get hit. This is a lousy weekend war!"

That's why I'm happy I did it: I am actually involved in a project that I believe in 100 percent."[1]
