Genre: Drama, Coming Of Age, Military, Tear Jerker, Teenage

Tagline: The bravest thing he would ever do was let his family love him.

Plot: Duvall gives an amazing performance as a Marine fighter pilot who funnels his frustrated desire to fight into creating a tip-top battalion out of his own emotionally battered family. His adolescent son suffers the most from the Colonel's inability to express love through anything but discipline. This critically acclaimed movie has become a touchstone for dysfunctional families and is based on the Pat Conroy novel.
