Your heart and support will go out to Janet Harduvel in this true story, as she fights to clear her husband of blame when his F-16 aircraft crashes due to a mechanical defect. With the help of her attorney, they beat the odds and win their case in court, but not without pressure from the military and the plane's manufacturer. This well written script will make you stand up and cheer their victories as friends and associates are forced to take sides, as the tension builds and more serious conflicts occur, and as she copes to deal with the personal struggle of fighting a corporate giant and raising a child alone. Janet Harduvel fights a heartwarming battle through a typical military and corporate cover-up.

Another prime example of cover-up in action, even after being proven in the courtroom. Definitely worth your time and money.

This movie is based off actual accounts of a fighter pilot death due to wire chaffing, an on going problem in any man made thing. Not all the facts are presented in the movie (hollywood trys to over glorify movies with "military experts" who never served a day or lifed the life as a spouse.) Over all a good content, story flow, and for the time raised a few guestions. But also consider this, in the real deal no information is released to public till investagation is done and notification of next kin.

Good movie. Good acting. Story about a woman whose husband is in the military and lost his life in a plane crash which she finds suspicious. Against the odds, she investigates so that she will be able to find peace with his death. This movie is based on a true story and although it is sad, it is heartwarming because of the love that was shared between the husband and the wife. Good movie to watch if you need a good cry and/or need to be reminded of what really matters in your daily life.

This is one of the best movies ever to come out. Not only does it restore the human faith in love, but how far a spouse will go to preserve the good name of their mate.

I have to blame my brother for even knowing about this movie since he was personally involved in the case. Having heard the actual facts of the case, it was impossible for me to like such a manipulative movie. If I wasn't aware of these facts, I would say it was an average TV movie.

For the record, Janet Harduvel lost her case on appeal for those who didn't know.

THIS MOVIE WILL MAKE YOU WONDER IF THE MILITARY CAN TRUELY BE SO STUPID. BUT THE FACT THAT IT IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY MAKES A MILITARY SPOUCE CRINGE WITH REAL TERROR. THE STORY OF THE STREANGTH THAT THIS WIFE HAS IN THE FACE OF THE BIGGEST BRICK WALL IN OUR COUNTRY, THE UNITED STATES MILITARY IS INSPIREING! IF WE COULD ALL BE SO STRONG IN THE FACE OF TRAGEDY. I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED BRING THIS STORY IN THE OPEN. HIGHLY ENTERTAINING YET IT MAKES YOU THINK. GREAT STUFF.

A powerful combination of acting from Vincent Spano and Laura Dern.... Spano's performance was outstanding and incredibly charming.
