What is the main plot of The A-Team movie?
In The A-Team, a group of Iraq War veterans is framed for a crime they did not commit. The team, led by Colonel Hannibal Smith, breaks out of confinement to go rogue and use their unique military skills to find the true perpetrator and clear their names.

Should I watch the 1983 TV show before The A-Team movie?
Watching the 1983 television series provides context for the origins of The A-Team characters. However, the 2010 film functions as a standalone adaptation that introduces the team of veterans and their mission to clear their names after being framed for a crime they did not commit.
