Helden von heute (1977)
Der ehemalige Vietnamsoldat Jack hat die Nase gestrichen voll: Er ist es leid, seine Zeit im Veteranenhospital zu verschwenden, das ihn vergebens von seinen krankhaften Halluzinationen zu befreien versucht. Also packt Jack seine Sachen und macht sich auf die Suche nach seinen Kameraden. Sie hatten damals von einer gemeinsamen Zukunft geträumt - sie wollten im sonnigen Kalifornien eine Raupenfarm aufziehen. Das Leben verläuft jedoch anders als die Träume: Ken entpuppt sich als müder Versager, der andere Kumpel ist verschollen und der dritte in Vietnam gefallen. Jack ist verzweifelt und droht in eine Krise zu geraten. Glücklicherweise hat Jack auf seiner Reise Carol kennengelernt, und die versteht das Drama charmant zu verhindern...
