April Morning

The April in question is in the year 1775, where a young man's coming of age is set against the Battle of Lexington and Concord and the beginning of the American Revolution. As Moses Cooper (Tommy Lee Jones) prepares to take up arms against British imperialists, he sees a chance to meaningfully connect with his son (Chad Lowe). This well-crafted historical drama from "Hallmark Hall of Fame," based on Howard Fast's novel, co-stars Robert Urich, Susan Blakely, and Rip Torn. 99 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
