When a decorated Marine goes missing overseas, his black-sheep younger brother cares for his wife and children at home . with consequences that willshake the foundation of the entire family.

Brothers tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (TOBY MAGUIRE) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) who are polar opposites. A marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (NATALIE PORTMAN), with whom he has two young daughters (BAILEE MADISON, TAYLOR GRACE GEARE). Tommy, his charismatic younger brother is a drifter just out of jail who has always gotten by on wit and charm.

Shipped out to Afganistan, Sam is presumed dead when his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains. At home in suburbia, the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void, and Tommy tries to fill in for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the children.

"Responsibility, resentment, jealousy, and guilt are the movie's main themes sharing with us raw emotional chaos at the highest level. It's hard hitting and involving." URBAN CINEFILE
