The Shepherd (1984)
A father chooses between his enemy and the life of his own son. Bursting with “Top Gun” action, THE SHEPHERD explodes into the lives and conflicts of the men who push the edge of supersonic danger while defending our skies. The resulting bitterness of a split moment decision threatens to destroy the lives of the widowed wife and her young son.
Director: Donald W. Thompson
