"It's all about character," Jack McCain says to son John on his first day at Annapolis Naval Academy. Based on John McCain's autobiography, A&Es Faith of Our Fathers traces the senator's character-building journey from pilot to POW to war hero. Shawn Hatosy (Soldier's Girl) is John and Scott Glenn (The Right Stuff) is his four-star admiral father. The story begins in 1967 when the younger man is shot down over North Vietnam, tortured, and hospitalized--only to be tortured again. Then it flashes back to 1953 as he takes his initial steps towards a military career and life with first wife Carol (Erin Cottrell). The made-for-TV movie continues to alternate between Annapolis and Vietnam's Hanoi Hilton. The story ends after McCain is released in 1973. Although his part often feels underwritten, Hatosy shines as a man who, like his father before him, would not betray his country at any cost. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Excellent movie.
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017I love John McCain...didn't know a movie was made about his horrific years in Hanoi Hilton until I saw on television. Definitely wanted a copy in my movie library. Checked Amazon & found it. Thank you Amazon. Will watch again & again & recommend to everyone, especially those who were in Viet Nam & their peers and loved ones. I believe those who are too young to remember that era should view also. All will gain an appreciation of a living Hero and incredible Patriot in John McCain!!! We are so lucky to have such brave men & women with incredible integrity in our armed services. God bless John McCain & all our military personnel. Thank you for giving your lives so we Americans can enjoy our liberty.

Real American Hero
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2008This effective dramatization of Sen. John McCain's ordeal in the "Hanoi Hilton" prisoner of war camp for 5 years was actually released a few years ago, based on his memoir of the same name. It also deals delicately with his relationship with his father, both remote and adored, and the clearly the strongest influence in his life. It is very well acted, with a cast that I didn't recognize with the exception of Scott Glenn. In an interview with Sen McCain, he touches lightly on the accuracy of the set of the prison, and his feelings about seeing it.
Even if you read the book, the video is very worthwhile.

A necessary story
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2011I'm no major fan of John McCain the politician. John McCain the Vietnam War POW is a much more likeable and compelling person. Unfortunately, this is the aspect of his life most riduculed or ignored. Probably 3 out of 5 college students wouldn't be able to tell you that John McCain was shot down, captured and tortured by the Vietnamese in the 60s.

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2015I guess I expected more demonstrations of faith in God in this movie, but for what it was, it was a pretty good movie.

Reviewed in Canada on May 25, 2014I chose this movie as I knew it was a true story. I have seen it before but it was something that I wanted to own to show my grandchildren of the courage of this true American.
