December (1991) DVD

Balthazar Getty, Jason London, Brian Krause, Wil Wheaton, Chris Young

Set in a New England prep school on the day after Pearl Harbor, five close friends must choose whether to stay in school or go to war. Their decisions shock themselves and each other as they must grow up faster than they ever imagined. Wil Wheaton (Stand by Me), Chris Young (Book of Love) and Balthazar Getty (Young Guns II) star as three best friends facing the most important decision of their lives. On December 7, 1941 the Japannese bombed Pearl Harbor and changed the course of history. For five prep students in New Hampshire, the war had seemed a world away. But the savage surprise attack brings the war home, and the high school buddies suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the fight. A powerful coming-of-age story in the tradition of Dead Poets Society, December is a compeling reminder that not every hero goes to war.
