Ordinary Heroes is a 1986 American made-for-television war drama film directed by Peter H. Cooper. It premiered on ABC on October 19, 1986.[1]
The film is a remake of the 1945 film Pride of the Marines,[2] but set in the Vietnam War instead of World War II.
In 1971, Tony (Richard Dean Anderson) fell in love with Maria (Valerie Bertinelli), but their future was abruptly put on hold when Tony was drafted to fight in the Vietnam War. When he returned to the country two years later, she was still waiting for him, but he was no longer the same.
Parts of the film were shot in Salt Lake City and Magna, Utah.[3]
