Synopsis

Bill Schmidt (James Woods), Martha Wayne (Patricia Joyce) and their little child Hal are spending a quiet winter Sunday in their cosy house when they get an unexpected visit from Mike Nickerson (Steve Railsback) and Tony Rodriguez (Chico Martínez). Mike and Tony are old acquaintances of Bill; a few years back, in Vietnam, they were in the same platoon. They also became opposed parties in a court martial - for a reason that Bill never explained to Martha. What happened in Vietnam, and what is the reason for the presence of Mike and Tony?

Critics' reviews

"Kazan's son Chris wrote the script and is probably to blame for most of the inadequacies."

TV Guide
"It deserves much more attention than it got when it came out, and showcases Kazan's strengths as well as his weaknesses."
