Set during December 1944, A Midnight Clear is the story of a small army intelligence platoon sent on a dangerous mission to the German front. Constant fear and unremitting tension build as the greenhorn recruits search out the enemy. But when they finally discover a Nazi camp, they find a small band of frightened soldiers not unlike themselves. A tentative truce is forged as the two platoons overcome their fear to celebrate Christmas together. But soon the tides of war change and their separate peace explodes into horrifying violence. Based on the powerful novel by William Wharton, A Midnight Clear is both a shattering indictment of war and a searing testament to courage. The film is directed by Keith Gordon. Ethan Hawke (Great Expectations, Dead Poets Society) and Gary Sinese (Forrest Gump, Apollo 13) lead an ensemble cast including Peter Berg, Kevin Dillon, Arye Gross and Frank Whaley
