Academy Award-winner Sally Field (Steel Magnolias, Brothers & Sisters)
and Bill Pullman (The Sinner, Independence Day) star in Arthur Millers
blistering drama that was filmed live on-stage at The Old Vic in
London. America, 1947. Despite hard choices and even harder knocks,
Joe and Kate Keller are a success story. They have built a home,
raised two sons and established a thriving business. But nothing lasts
forever and their contented lives, already shadowed by the loss of
their eldest boy to war, are about to shatter. With the return of a
figure from the past, long buried truths are forced to the surface and
the price of their American dream is laid bare. This moving, tragic
drama is a compelling tale of the conflict between father and son, and
a merciless exposure of wartime profiteering and the American Dream.
Powerful, passionate and frighteningly relevant, All My Sons, brought
Arthur Miller his first major success as a playwright, and in 1947 was
a great success on Broadway, earning him his very first Tony Award for
Best Author and established his reputation as a playwright. Over the
course of his lifetime, Miller went on the win two more Tony Awards
for his plays Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, as well as a
number of other awards including the John F. Kennedy Award for
Lifetime Achievement and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Jeremy Herrin
