SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Winner of five Academy Awards© including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor (Christoper Walken), this critically acclaimed, extraordinarily powerful motion picture tracks a group of steelworker pals from a Pennsylvania blast furnace to the cool hunting grounds of the Alleghenies to the lethal cauldron of Vietnam. Robert De Niro gives an outstanding performance as Michael, the natural leader of the group. The Deer Hunter is a searing drama of friendship and courage, and what happens to these qualities under stress; it is a shattering emotional experience you will never forget.
