El gran Santini (El don del coraje) (1979)
El oficial Bull Meechum (Robert Duvall) es un piloto del ejército norteamericano y ex-combatiente de Vietnam, apodado “Gran Santini”. Implacable y déspota, trata a su familia con el mismo rigor y dureza que emplea con sus escuadrones. Es un “guerrero sin guerra”, en continua pugna con su hijo Ben, quien no sólo desafía la tiranía de su padre, sino que como buen adolescente, se rebela contra él.
