After he landed in Qui Nhon, Chick set to work, tracking down the disbelieving soldiers one by one. But, it wasn't all plain sailing, from stumbling into a demilitarized zone to the small problem of military checkpoints, Chick risked it all for a beer with his childhood friends.
After returning home, Donohue penned a memoir about his experience. His book, The Greatest Beer Run Ever: A True Story of Friendship Stronger Than War, eventually formed the story for the film.
