Ernest Thompson, the playwright responsible for the Pulitzer Prize winning
On Golden Pond, makes his directorial debut with
1969.
Kiefer Sutherland plays a draft-age youth who undergoes an epiphany when one of his friends is killed in Vietnam. Sutherland's subsequent antiwar stance causes a great deal of tension within his own family, though his mother,
Mariette Hartley, tries her best to understand.
