Opening Narration

ynopsis

Three United States Army National Guard soldiers (MSgt. William Connors, Pvt. Michael McCluskey, Cpl. Richard Langsford) are a tank crew participating in a wargame being conducted near the Battle of Little Bighorn site of Lieutenant Colonel George Custer's last stand. Their orders coincide with the route of Custer and his men. As they follow the route, they find more and more proof that they’ve somehow gone back in time. They report to their commanding officer what had occurred and are reprimanded. The following day they again begin to experience the same strange occurrences. Their commanding officer contacts them via radio and orders them to return to base when they try to explain what is happening. They break contact, and the commanding officer sends out MP's to search for them. The three men, however, abandon their tank and continue along on foot with their side arms and rifles. They find a group of tepees and one of the soldiers goes to investigate; he soon returns, with an arrow protruding from his back. The troops climb up a ridge where they find the battle. They join it and are never seen again. Later, the commanding officer finds the Custer Battlefield National Monument and the graveyard of the soldiers killed at the Battle of Little Bighorn. An MP reports back that all they found was the abandoned tank. The officers then notice the names of the missing soldiers on the monument with the names of the men killed in the battle. The commanding officer states that it was a pity that the missing soldiers could not have taken the tank back with them to the battle.
