In Country

Teenager Samantha Hughes (Emily Lloyd) of Hopewell, Kentucky, is pretty, headstrong...and curious. About the father she never knew -- and about the war that took him away. The war nobody wants to remember.

Bruce Willis is a reclusive vet and Lloyd is his niece in In Country, about a familys struggle to heal the wounds of Vietnam. Directed by Norman Jewison (In The Heat Of The Night), the film captures the horror of battle -- and the disillusionment of a soldier who thought war meant glory but discovers it also means both pain and fear.

A poignant final scene -- the familys emotional visit to the Vietnam Veterans memorial in Washington DC -- caps a powerful movie that "steers a straight and stirring passage to the heart"
