A Midnight Clear DVD, 1991

With an all-star cast led by Ethan Hawke, Gary Sinise, Kevin Dillon and Peter Berg, A Midnight Clear is a classic war movie that has won critical acclaim and a cult following.

As the end of World War II approaches a group of American soldiers are assigned to watch activity amidst the stark snow covered landscape of the French-German border and soon discover a battle weary enemy reluctant to fight. As Christmas approaches the two sides begin to communicate, establish some common ground and even sing carols together. They agree to fake a battle so the Germans can be captured without bloodshed or loss of honour. But things are never that simple in war.

Based on the novel by William Wharton.
