Robert Duvall stars as Mac Sledge, an alcoholic drifter who comes into the life of a lonely widow (Tess Harper) and her young son in the barren flatlands of Texas. But when Mac is revealed to be a once- famous country singer, he must confront a painful past that includes his bitter superstar ex- wife (Betty Buckley) and troubled daughter (Ellen Barkin) while facing an uncertain future that may only be redeemed by the simple power of love.

Tender Mercies is a movie experience of uncommon grace and dignity, directed by Bruce Beresford (Breaker Morant, Driving Miss Daisy) from an Oscar- winning screenplay by Horton Foote (To Kill A Mockingbird, The Trip To Bountiful) and featuring a once- in- a- lifetime performance by Robert Duvall. Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Picture, this modern masterpiece is now presented in a stunning new widescreen transfer from original vault materials.
