Korean War-era veterans and ex-classmates Gunner Casselman (Academy Award winner Ben Affleck) and Sonny Burns (Emmy Award winner Jeremy Davies) reunite upon their return home. Gunner, who spent the war years abroad, is trying to convince his mother that his gal Marty (Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz) is good enough for him, while Sonny, who was stationed stateside, is torn between loyal Buddy (Amy Locane, Melrose Place) and tempting Gale Ann (Rose McGowan, Charmed). As they commiserate, the men realize that they're outgrowing the lives they lived before the war.
