Tommy and Sam are two brothers as different from one another as night and day. Sam is the older, who followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the Marines. Married to his high-school sweetheart, Grace, and father of two small girls, he is called for another tour of duty in Afghanistan. Tommy, the rebellious and lost brother, the black-sheep of the family, joins his parents and relatives as he is released from prison, on the night before Sam's departure.
Brothers is a dramatic portrayal by Jim Sheridan of the cruel reality for many of America’s servicemen and their families who must learn to cope with the hardship of returning from war and reintegrating into everyday society.
With Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman
