All My Sons
Based on the novel written by Michael Morpurgo
Joe Keller (David Suchet) is alleged to have supplied World War II fighter planes with defective engines, leading to the deaths of innocent pilots - a crime for which his business partner took the fall. One of Keller's sons Laurie, himself a pilot, is thought to have been killed in action. But three years later his mother (Zoe Wanamaker) can't accept his death. She’s also struggling to accept that Laurie’s fiancée, Annie has transferred her affections to her younger son . The confrontations that follow one evening lead to the uncovering of a shameful family secret. This forces the Keller’s to confront their hidden past, their own culpability and the awful part they may have played in their son Laurie’s untimely demise.
