Summaries

Summertree, starring Michael Douglas and produced by his father Kirk Douglas, examines the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers drafted to fight and the families they leave behind.

Jerry, not a member of the 'protest generation' but simply a decent 'All American boy,' is drafted into the Army just as things start to go well for him. His decision to flee to Canada sparks conflict with his parents, and the film concluded in Vietnam.—alfiehitchie
