When Luke Hale, a decorated Army Veteran of the Afghanistan War, decides to leave the battlefield behind to be with his family, he returns to Hoboken, New Jersey — but discovers a new fight awaits him. His wife Carolyn and young daughter Stella are eager to welcome him home, but the wounds of war run deep, even when they can’t be seen.
In a town that values hard work and resilience, Luke struggles to find a job, reconnect with his family, and redefine what it means to be a husband and father. The simplest moments — like planning his daughter’s birthday party — become minefields that trigger memories of war, threatening to pull him back into the chaos he left behind.
Based on the award-nominated Off-Broadway play The American Soldier, Landing Home is a gripping, heart-wrenching exploration of the sacrifices made both on and off the battlefield. With raw authenticity and emotional depth, this drama reveals that sometimes the hardest mission is the one that begins when you come home.
