The nuclear family meets the atomic age.

Set against the dawn of the Atomic Age in 1950s Las Vegas, Desert Bloom is a powerful human drama, painting an unforgettable portrait of a family struggling to unite in an increasingly frightening world. Academy Award winner Jon Voight (Best Actor in a Leading Role, Coming Home, 1978) is Jack Chismore, a volatile war veteran, fighting to overcome his personal demons while holding his family together. Jobeth Williams (Poltergeist) is his wife Lily, torn between the needs of her family and a secret vice that threatens the very foundation of her marriage. Annabeth Gish (TVs X-Files) is Rose, a delicate girl on the threshold of adolescence, struggling to understand the adults surrounding her. Into this turbulent household comes Lily's sister Starr (Ellen Barkin, Someone Like You), a sexy divorcee who becomes the unwitting catalyst in an explosive chain reaction that rocks the Chismore family as surely-and irrevocably-as the A-bomb testing in the nearby desert. Sensitively directed, brilliantly acted and superbly written, Desert Bloom is a compelling study of a family's survival-and triumph-in a swiftly changing world.
