Go Tell the Spartans is a 1978 American Vietnam War film directed by Ted Post (Magnum Force) starring Burt Lancaster, Craig Wasson, and Marc Singer. Lancaster plays Major Asa Barker, a grizzled US Army military advisor in charge of a small group of US Army advisors and local militia who has to juggle unreasonable army orders with local politics. Given only a limited release in 1978, it was overshadowed by two other Vietnam War films released that year, The Deer Hunter and Coming Home.
