Historical accuracy is determined through a combination of primary sources, such as documents and artifacts from the time period, and secondary sources, like scholarly research and analysis. Historians evaluate the credibility and reliability of these sources to piece together an accurate understanding of past events. Cross-referencing multiple sources and perspectives helps to verify the accuracy of historical information.
A TV series, a take-off from Oliver Stone's (himself a Viet War vet) film: Platoon.

The movie was fairly accurate. The movie was "based" on the director, Oliver Stone's experience in Vietnam while serving as a rifleman with the 25th Infantry Division, as depicted by actor Charly Sheen, who mostly played the part concerning Oliver Stone's experience.
If you are asking who directed the movie "Platoon" that would be Oliver Stone.

This movie focuses on a plot to assassinate Kennedy. Its historical accuracy is very much subject to question.
This movie is not even close to accurate, not even in the same ballpark as accurate. It is nothing but ignorant and prejudiced fantasy.
