| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Robert Redford, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise star in LIONS
FOR LAMBS, a powerful and gripping story that digs behind
the news, the politics and a nation divided to explore the
human consequences of a complicated war.
Directed by Academy Award® winner Robert Redford, the
story begins after two determined students at a West Coast
University, Arian (DEREK LUKE) and Ernest (MICHAEL PENA),
follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr.
Malley (REDFORD), and attempt to do something important with
their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join
the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught.
Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field,
they become the string that binds together two disparate stories
on opposite sides of America.
In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach
a privileged but disaffected student (ANDREW GARFIELD) who
is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington
D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper
Irving (CRUISE), is about to give a bombshell story to a probing
TV journalist (STREEP) that may affect Arian and Ernest's
fates. As arguments, memories and bullets fly, the three stories
are woven ever more tightly together, revealing how each of
these Americans has a profound impact on each other and the
world.
