Ein besonderer Held (1982)
US-Soldat Eddie (Richard Pryor) verliert während der fünfjährigen Gefangenschaft in Vietnam alles, nur nicht seinen Humor. Zurück in der Heimat, hat die Welt ihn allerdings längst vergessen. Nur die Prostituierte Toni (Margot Kidder) hält zu dem Veteranen… Und nur dem Talent von Komiker Richard Pryor ("Harlem Nights") ist es zu verdanken, dass der Film nicht untergeht...
