M*A*S*H 4077th Medic 1970 Tank Top

Based on the novels of Richard Hooker, this Robert Altman film follows the zany surgeons and other staff of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Korea. Although the top-ranked series was initially based on this film, it was homogenized; most of the dozens of characters, amalgamated in the series, are depicted in the film just as they were in the novels. Set during the Korean War, surgeons Captains "Hawkeye" Pierce and "Duke" Forrest, join the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH), located three miles from the front lines. Both are draftees and care little for military protocols and conventions. They are soon joined by another surgeon even more anarchic and insubordinate in his attitude, Capt. John "Trapper" McIntyre.
