Warning: Spoilers
Kris Kristofferson is a Vietnam Veteran who escapes from the Jungle 17 years after being shot down. Forced to leave his Cambodian wife and family behind at the Thai border, he has to fight red tape and military officials who want to cover up his return, in order to get his family back to America. He also has to help his family in America come to terms with him being alive, among other things.

As this was apparently drawn from a true story, you will be shocked at what America feels able to do to it's heroes in order to save face.

Brian Keith, Jo-Beth Williams, and Sam Waterston are among the others to make up a cracking cast. Tense, dramatic, and tautly and leanly written.
