Le film apporte des témoignages de cinq soldats à propos du Massacre de Mỹ Lai intervenu en mars 1968 lors de la guerre du Viet Nam, et ayant fait plus de 500 victimes dont beaucoup de femmes, enfants et vieillards. Sur les 110 soldats qui ont participé au massacre, sept ayant démissionné de l'armée acceptent de témoigner, mais deux mentent en affirmant n'y avoir pas participé, et leur témoignage n'est finalement pas retenu. Sur les cinq autres, trois essayent de se justifier.

Sir No Sir! tells the story of the 1960s GI movement against the war in Vietnam for the first time on film. The film explores the profound impact that the movement had on the war and investigates the way in which the GI Movement has been erased from public memory. In the 1960’s an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course of history. This movement didn’t take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It flourished in army stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. It penetrated elite military colleges like West Point. And it spread throughout the battlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement no one expected, least of all those in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. And by 1971 it had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed services. Yet today few people know about the GI Movement against the war in Vietnam.
