'''Da 5 Bloods''' is a 2020 [[MilitaryAndWarFilms war movie]] directed by Creator/SpikeLee, with a screenplay by Lee and Kevin Willmott, from an original screenplay by [[Film/The rocketeer Danny Bilson and Paul DeMeo]].
The movie tells the story of Paul, Otis, Melvin, and Eddie, four veterans of the Vietnam War who return to the country decades later to retrieve the remains of their beloved squad leader, Stormin' Norman. The journey for Norman's remains is only part of it, however, as the Bloods also seek to discover a stockpile of gold bars that had been buried alongside him. They are soon joined by Paul's son David, who worries for his father's well-being as the group encounters activists, shady businessmen, mercenaries, and their own secrets on their quest for treasure.
