Synopsis:
Based on a book by Norman Maclean, and closely based on his own youthful experiences, this made-for-TV drama concerns Mac (Jerry O'Connell), a teenage boy who gets a job working for the National Forest Service in Montana shortly after the end of World War II.
With the help of veteran ranger Bill Bell (Sam Elliott), Mac learns a lot about forest management -- and about life. Also features Ricky Jay and Molly Parker.
