Distant Thunder

John Lithgow stars and Ralph Macchio co-stars as his son. Their uneasy reunion accidentally sparks war-haunted violence, and they share a harrowing fight for survival that will either destroy them or unify them forever.

A troubled Vietnam war vet deserts his wife and child shortly after he returns from the war. He returns after ten years of living in a forest like an animal. He finds himself unprepared for the changes that he will have to cope with, and when the vet tries to contact his son, he realizes that he has caused more damage than he had imagined.
