Grizzled war veteran Sgt. Clell Hazard (James Caan) is disheartened when he is stationed as a guard in Arlington National Cemetery instead of an instructor of new recruits during the Vietnam War. When eager Pvt. Jackie Willow (D.B. Sweeney) is stationed under Hazard, the vet aims to educate the youth about war. Along with his old friend, Sgt. Maj. Goody Nelson (James Earl Jones), Hazard does his best to school Willow before he is deployed to Vietnam -- but both know that it may not be enough.

In early 1968 during the Vietnam War, young, idealistic Army specialist Jackie "Jack" Willow is assigned to Fort Myer, Virginia, the United States Army Post adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The Army’s Third Infantry “Old Guard” division oversees the burial ceremonies for the cemetery, which they refer to as the "garden.” Company clerk Pete Deveber tells Jack that fifteen bodies are laid to rest each day. Sergeant Major “Goody” Nelson remarks that the Old Guard is an easy assignment, as all the soldiers do is escort the president and handle burials. The guns they carry do not shoot live ammunition. Jack meets Sergeant Clell Hazard, who fought with Jack's father, Master Sergeant Shelby Willow, in Korea. Clell believes in the Army, describing it as “family,” but he does not believe in the Vietnam War. Clell has had two tours of duty in Vietnam and does not think the Vietnamese people are as peace-loving as the s

See AlsoCant Download Lumino CityIt's an unfortunate fact of art that if a director makes even one great film early in his or her career, then everything else they subsequently put their name to runs the risk of being negatively judged against it, particularly if the newer film wanders into territory already staked out by the earlier classic. This is how a compelling and thoughtful work like Bringing Out the Dead found itself unfavourably compared to Taxi Driver on its release for the simple reason that it was the work of the same director and screenwriter and painted a similarly dour picture of street-level New York life. Yet while I'll freely admit that the later movie lacks the ferocious anger and cinematic gut-punch of Taxi Driver, I'd argue that Bringing Out the Dead is a tonally different film with its own specific concerns, and is still a stronger and more socially relevant work than much of Martin Scorsese's subsequent output. See, I'm doing it now.

Purchase Gardens of Stone on digital and stream instantly or download offline. The story of the war at home and the people who lived through it. From director Francis Coppola (The Rainmaker, The Godfather saga) comes Gardens Of Stone, a poignant look at stateside military life during the Vietnam War featuring outstanding performances by James Caan, James Earl Jones and Academy Award® Winner Anjelica Huston. "Gardens of Stone" refers to Arlington National Cemetery, its endless rows of tombstones marking the graves of America's fallen war heroes. This garden is tended by the "Old Guard," an elite Army unit led by decorated veterans no longer serving active duty. When brash young recruit Jackie Willow (D.B. Sweeney) is assigned to the unit, he becomes a surrogate son to Sgt. Clell Hazard (Caan) and Sgt. Major "Goody" Nelson (Jones). The older men must prepare the younger for the deadly environment of war. Meanwhile, Hazard begins a love affair with an anti-war newspaper reporter (Huston) and Willow rekindles a romance with a former college sweetheart (Mary Stuart Masterson). Against a backdrop of protest, uncertainty and violence, the war at home and the war abroad intersect with unforgettable consequences. Also featuring Dean Stockwell and Laurence Fishburne.

Few figures in the world of cinema cast a shadow as long as Francis Ford Coppola’s. He’s a giant of the art form, with a handful of movies that have redefined film as we know it. His inherent genius, which has cost him considerable grief throughout his career, is abundant enough to be passed down to his offspring.
