In this film, Ben Meechum is struggling to engage in new confrontations, especially after he wanted to obtain the approval of his father, Alfa. It seems that Ben's father did not completely extinguish his position during that period at home because of the prisoners' unacceptability and long-term desire for war.
Robert Duvall and Michael O'Keefe turn in powerful, Oscar nominated performances in this familiar family melodrama about tyrannical marine-father who bullies his sensitive son so that he can become a real man.
