About V for Victory

The A-Team was formed when a crack commando unit in the U.S. Army Special Forces was imprisoned for a bank robbery in Vietnam that they committed under orders, but for which they were framed. They escaped a maximum-security stockade to Los Angeles, operating as heroic soldiers of fortune.
