Editorial Review:
Description:
Based on the autobiography by Senator John McCain and Mark Salter, Faith of My Fathers chronicles the younger years of Senator McCain's life. Beginning as a hotshot Navy pilot through his five years of captivity as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, the film captures how his experiences helped shape the man that he has become.

'It's all about character,' Jack McCain says to son John on his first day at Annapolis Naval Academy. Based on John McCain's autobiography, A&E’s Faith of Our Fathers traces the senator's character-building journey from pilot to POW to war hero. Shawn Hatosy (Soldier's Girl) is John and Scott Glenn (The Right Stuff) is his four-star admiral father. The story begins in 1967 when the younger man is shot down over North Vietnam, tortured, and hospitalized--only to be tortured again. Then it flashes back to 1953 as he takes his initial steps towards a military career and life with first wife Carol (Erin Cottrell). The made-for-TV movie continues to alternate between Annapolis and Vietnam's Hanoi Hilton. The story ends after McCain is released in 1973. Although his part often feels underwritten, Hatosy shines as a man who, like his father before him, would not betray his country at any cost. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
