Adapted from Irwin Shaw’s best-selling novel, this Emmy-winning mini-series tells the story of brothers Rudy (Peter Strauss) and Tom (Nick Nolte) Jordache – two brothers who battled through their conflicting lifestyles in two different ways. We are taken on a roller-coaster ride starting in Port Philip, New York in 1945 through to the French Riviera in the mid-60’s. A classic tale of Rags to Riches and Happiness to Heartbreak. The series also chronicles many of the most important events in the latter half of the American century, including the McCarthy witch hunts, the Korean war, the birth of the Civil Rights movement and the student riots of the 60s.
