Platoon (1986)
This original 1986 poster for Platoon is one of the most powerful and emotionally charged war poster designs ever produced. The stark imagery, a soldier’s helmet filled with personal effects, set against silhouetted troops marching beneath a cold blue sky perfectly captures the film’s devastating tagline: “The first casualty of war is innocence.” It is restrained, haunting, and unforgettable.
Culturally, Platoon redefined the Vietnam War film, bringing brutal realism and moral complexity to the genre. Directed by Oliver Stone, himself a Vietnam veteran, the film won four Academy Awards including Best Picture, and remains a benchmark for anti-war cinema.
Collectors want this poster for its iconic design, historical importance, and raw honesty.
