Plot
One of the world's most acclaimed comedies, M*A*S*H focuses on three Korean War Army surgeons brilliantly brought to life by Donald Sutherland, Tom Skerritt and Elliott Gould. Though highly skilled and deeply dedicated, they adopt a hilarious, lunatic lifestyle as an antidote to the tragedies of their Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and in the process infuriate Army bureaucrats. Robert Duvall, Gary Burghoff and Sally Kellerman co-star as a sanctimonious Major, an other-worldly Corporal, and a self-righteous yet lusty nurse.
The personnel at the 4077 MASH unit deal with the horrors of the Korean War and the stresses faced in surgery by whatever means. The tone at the MASH is established by recent arrivals: surgeons Captains "Hawkeye" Pierce, "Duke" Forrest, and "Trapper" John McIntyre--Hawkeye knows he's met Trapper somewhere, but Trapper won't divulge where--whose antics can best be described as non-regulation--and in the negative words of one of their fellow MASH-ers, unmilitary. The unit's commanding officer, Colonel Henry Blake, doesn't care about this behavior as long as it doesn't affect him, and as long as they do their job and do it well, which they do. Their behavior extremely bothers fellow surgeon Major Frank Burns and recently-arrived head nurse Major Margaret Houlihan, who obtains the nickname "Hot Lips" based on information they glean about her through underhanded means. Beyond their battles with Frank and Hot Lips, Hawkeye, Duke, and/or Trapper help unit dentist Painless with a personal crisis, try to figure out if Hot Lips is a true blonde, travel to Japan for a work and what they hope is a recreational trip, and hope to win big on a football bet against another unit in which they--on the surface--are the underdogs.
