Missing Brendan Movie Review 2003

After three painful decades, George Calden (Asner) goes to Vietnam with his two sons and grandson upon learning that his MIA-son Brendan's crashed plane has been found. Desperate to fulfill his wife's dying wish to bring his remains home, the family grapples with many more challenges including lack of cooperation by the Vietnamese government, a father-son clash when his grandson dates a local girl, and George's hidden terminal illness.
