Two young Jewish men, living in America during the time of the second World War, find themselves both united and divided by their faith. One is the son of a Hasidic Jew, and the other is the son of a reformed Jew. This faithful adaption of Chaim Potok's literary classic creates a wonderfully rich movie version about the friendship between two very different jewish youths in 1940's brooklyn.<br />
<br />
The Hasidic Danny Saunders (Benson) and the Orthodox Reuven Malter (Miller) begin their friendship after Danny nearly blinds Reuven in a baseball game. To Reuven, who considers himself a typical American kid, Danny's Hasidic upbringing, complete with 19th-century attire and long side curls, makes him seem as strange as a creature from space. Nevertheless, they grow closer until Danny's father, a forceful rabbi (Steiger) forbids his son to talk to Reuven because the boy's father (Schell) is a fervent Zionist.<br />
