Joker, Animal Mother, Gomer, Eightball, Cowboy og de andre havner i et helvede af en træningslejr, hvor de bliver tværet flade af den skrigende eksercits-instruktør, der betragter de vordende dræbermaskiner som padder, mider eller noget endnu lavere. Handlingen er grum, historien er nådesløs, dialogen er krydret med ætsende humor. Fra basistræningens helvede til mareridtet i Hue i Vietnam står Full Metal Jacket som et filmhistorisk hovedværk.
