Chuck Langer (Sir John Hurt), a crusty old civic engineer, has an arsenal full of memories. With irreverent wit, he rattles on, in his irascible humorous style, burning his spicy stories into the imagination of a young neighbor kid, Danny Himes (Gregory Smith). Danny is a gifted, spirited athlete with something to prove. Worldly, old man Langer has turned his back on proving anything at all. It�s post World War II. Danny�s father, Earl (David Strathairn), did not serve in the military and is considered a coward. Danny excels to overcome his father�s reputation while Earl is actually more a man than the town knows. �You don�t smoke, you don�t drink, and you don�t screw. What kind of man are you anyway?� old man Langer asks Danny. The more appropriate question is: �What kind of men are they?�
