The Great Santini

The Great Santini

Bull Meechum (Robert Duvall) is a hard case, a fighter pilot so skilled that he's called The Great Santini. But now it's peacetime 1962. And more at home playing "top gun" in the cockpit than father in his living room, he's become that most useless figure: a warrior without a war.

Synopsis: Ace marine pilot-without-a-mission vents frustrations by battling with teenaged son. Drama fans love the critically acclaimed performances, character development; parents and adolescents identify with familiar, age-old themes.
