In the late years of the Vietnam War, North Vietnamese truck drivers believed one thing without question:
the night was their shield.
Under jungle canopy and moonless skies, convoys moved south along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, carrying the lifeline of an army. By day, American aircraft ruled the air. By night, the roads belonged to Hanoi.
Until they didn’t.
Drivers began to report something impossible.
No engine noise. No warning.
Just streams of fire falling from an unseen source.
Entire convoys vanished in minutes.
They called it the Night Terror.
This film tells the true story of the AC-130 Spectre gunship — a weapon that transformed darkness from protection into exposure. Using revolutionary infrared sensors, electromagnetic tracking, and overwhelming firepower, the Spectre hunted trucks through jungle, cloud cover, and total darkness.
Through survivor testimony, declassified reports, and reconstructed missions, this documentary reveals how a single aircraft rewrote the rules of night warfare — and nearly collapsed the logistics network of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
This is not a story about speed or dogfights.
It is a story about patience.
Precision.
And a machine that circled quietly above the dark — until the night itself became deadly.
