The Boys are Back is the new movie from Scott Hicks, the director of Shine. The Boys are Back stars Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Clive Owen as a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter who, in the wake of his wifes tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. United by unspoken love, conflicted by fierce feelings and in search of a road forward, the three multi-generational boys of the Warr household, father and sons alike, must each find their own way, however tenuous, to grow up. Their story is not just about the transforming power of a family crisis -- but the unavoidable grace of everyday life and love that gets them through.
