1969

The compelling tale of two families whose lives are shaped by war.

Robert Downey Jr. (Ally McBeal) and Keifer Sutherland (A Few Good Men) star in this heart- rending drama that traces the lives of two young men coming of age during one of the most volatile periods in America's history. Written and directed by Academy Award® winner Ernest Thompson (On Golden Pond), this moving, evocative film is filled with "good performances all around" (Variety), "a glorious period soundtrack" (Boxoffice) and "intense emotional impact" (Los Angeles Times)!

Scott and Ralph (Sutherland and Downey), two small-town class-of-'67 high school graduates, venture off to college to sow some wild oats -- and stay one step ahead of the draft board. But when Ralph is expelled from school, he suddenly becomes a prime candidate for serving in his country's armed forces. And when the lifelong friends take drastic -- and illegal -- measures to ensure Ralph's freedom, they trigger a chain of events that will forever change their friendship, their lives... and how a town thinks of war.
