Gardens of Stone
The story of the war at home, and the people who lived through it.
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Produced by TriStar Pictures, Michael I. Levy Productions
A contemplative war drama centered on mentorship and loss, exploring the emotional toll of duty through the bond between a seasoned sergeant and an idealistic young soldier at Arlington Cemetery.
At Arlington National Cemetery during the Vietnam era, veteran sergeant Clell Hazard trains young soldiers while mourning those lost in combat. Unable to return to war himself, he mentors Jackie Willow—the idealistic son of a fallen comrade—hoping to prepare him for the realities of Vietnam and the cost of duty.
