Summary
The smoke rising from Pennsylvania’s gloomy steel mills mingles with memories of quiet hunting trips in the woods. Michael Cimino’s unforgettable drama examines the lives of a group of working-class friends as they step into the devastating shadow of the Vietnam War. As the joyful crowds in wedding halls give way to dark rooms in the midst of hell, the bonds of friendship face their toughest test.
