SOMMERSBY

Richard Gere, Jodie Foster, James Earl Jones, Bill Pullman

Warner Bros.; Directed by Jon Amiel

An epic tale of deception, denial, hope, and sacrifice, SOMMERSBY is mostly an extraordinary love story brought vividly to life by two of today’s most popular performers, Richard Gere and Jodie Foster. Based on the acclaimed French film, THE RETURN OF MARTIN GUERRE, SOMMERSBY is a compelling tale of the changes brought to one man during the Civil War and the great joy and profound sadness that will lie ahead for all with whom he comes in contact.
