Promised Land ( 1987 )

Life On the Edge Of the American Dream

Four hot young stars-Kiefer Sutherland, Meg Ryan, Jason Gedrick and Tracy Pollan-star in this intimate look at rites of passage in small-town America. With high hopes and even higher dreams, basketball star Davey Hancock (Gedrick) eagerly anticipates high school graduation and continuing his legacy in the challenging, "adult" world of college. But the future holds many surprises and no guarantees for Davey or for his classmates-the all-American cheerleader Mary (Pollan) and off-beat "Senator" (Sutherland). Mary is college-bound, but discovers deeper ties at home. Senator is adrift, until he meets the wild-tempered Bev (Ryan), who fills his life with dangerous excitement. As these four young adults hurtle through life´s unpredictable turns and harsh realities, they discover that adulthood on the edge of the American Dream is a far cry from the "promised land" they had come to expect.
