A Midnight Clear

“At the frontlines of life, near the end of innocence, came the beginning of manhood.”

In December 1944, a six-man American intelligence squad is sent to a deserted chateau in the Ardennes forest to watch the German lines. Keith Gordon follows Will Knott (Ethan Hawke) and Vance "Mother" Wilkins (Gary Sinise) as a German platoon nearby signals that it wants to give up. Will is a young sergeant already worn thin by what he has seen, and he has to decide whether to trust it.
