Comedian Richard Pryor once again proves his agility as an actor in Some Kind of Hero as Eddie Keller, a Viet Nam P.O.W. who returns home to a world he no longer recognizes.

But there are unexpected consequences when the local mob gets involved. The supporting cast includes Margot Kidder as a hooker with a heart of gold; Ray Sharkey as Eddie’s P.O.W. cellmate; Ronny Cox as a sympathetic colonel; and Lynne Moody as Eddie’s confused wife.
