An Academy Award nominee for 'Murphy's Romance' the following year, James Garner is Sergeant Major Zack Carey in this unusual family drama of love, honour and loyalty.
Zack, who owns a fully operational Sherman tank, is on his last assignment when he tangles with a small-town southern sheriff (G.D. Spradlin) after defending a barroom prostitute from a brutal deputy. C Thomas Howell is his son, Billy, who is jailed on a phony drug charge, and Zack is forced to take the law into his own hands - as only a man with a Sherman tank can do it! This is a thrilling salute to personal ideals from producer Irwin Yablans, who brought the blockbuster 'Halloween' and its sequel to the screen, and director Marvin J. Chomsky .
