The Last Full Measure (2020) is a gripping war drama that pays homage to the incredible sacrifice and bravery of Airman William H. Pitsenbarger, Jr., known as Pits. Set 34 years after Pits' death, the film tells the remarkable true story of his heroism on the battlefield and the long overdue recognition he receives.

Pits, played by Jeremy Irvine, served as a pararescue medic during the Vietnam War, where he saved numerous lives before sacrificing his own.
