Set in 1975, during the final days of the American occupation of Saigon, “Miss Saigon” is an epic love story about the relationship between an American GI and a young Vietnamese woman.

Orphaned by war, 17-year-old Kim is forced to work as a bar girl in a sleazy Saigon night club owned by a notorious wheeler-dealer known as The Engineer. John, an American GI, buys his friend Chris the services of Kim for the night. That night will change their lives forever.
