Corporal Eddie Keller just spent six years as a prisoner of war. Now he's coming home. Richard Pryor wowed audiences with his moving portrayal of the former POW who tries to return back to the normal life he remembered before the war. The only problem is, nothing is as he remembered it. Pryor's brilliant comedic talents make this the rare sort of drama that you can watch with a smile on your face. Margot Kidder and Ray Sharkey are excellent in touching supporting roles. Richard Pryor is Some Kind of Hero, in a role that is arguably the best of his career.
