剧情介绍
海军约翰麦凯恩从小受到父亲的影响，报读了海军军校。但在某次执行任务的时候被越南军方俘虏成为阶下囚。麦凯恩背负着父辈们长久以来对自己的期望，以坚强的意志和信念度过了这段艰苦的岁月。
John McCain is a poor student, except at wrestling, but toughs it out in Annapolis at the US Naval Academy with the goal of becoming a career naval officer like his father and grandfather, who were both admirals. Love at first sight leads to a marriage and children with Carole. During the Vietnam War, he's shot down and captured by the Vietcong, who torture American POWs. He resists years of torture and misery, only breaking once due to his busted limbs, and eventually returning home after five and one half years in captivity.
一家人祖辈海军正红色，麦凯恩的政治宣传片。18岁前，DVD
重看。片中几个细节还算还原了麦凯恩当时所在的VA-163“圣徒”（Saints）舰载攻击机中队，如头盔涂装、CG的A-4（实为E型）机身涂装以及中队简报室讲台上的VA-163的中队标志。不过A-4的实机或模型机外部的编号308是错误的，麦凯恩当日的座机编号是300。开头航母作业素材是CVN-65的，实际应是CV-34。
麦凯恩竞选时候拍的吧，恩格鲁-萨克逊白人传统价值中荣誉高于生命。
和这片的政治意图比起来天朝的主旋律电影真不算什么，只要你有钱，一家子在银幕上都高大英武
麦凯恩。。。
