Ride the Hot Wind

It was made by Ted Kelly who was a good friend of Audie Murphy.

In 1975, Kirk, Kelly, and several others of those involved in Ride The Hot Wind made My Name Is Legend.

[1] Captain Gregory Shank is a Vietnam veteran who has been imprisoned by the U.S. Army for being responsible for a massacre during the war.

After he's released he tries to star fresh but employers fire him after they find out his past, he gets in brawls and he struggles to maintain a relationship.

Tommy Kirk starred and later recalled about the movie: This was his [Kelly's] attempt to do a sympathetic dramatisation of a Lieutenant Calley-type character (Mỹ Lai massacre) coming home and portraying his bitterness, alienation and unhappiness at being fingered as a murderer, a baby killer and a monster.
