Golden Globe-winner Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket, Stranger Things) and Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage star in this riveting anti-war drama.

A story of two boyhood friends, the confident and popular Al and Birdy—an awkward and gentle soul obsessed with birds—whose youth is shattered by the Vietnam war. Both return from the front irrevocably changed, and with little more than their lifelong bond to help put together the pieces.
