Charlie St. Cloud stays true to his promise

Charlie St. Cloud is a sailor who gives up a promising career at sea to reconcile with the tragic death of his brother. The film, directed by Burr Steers, is a 2010 romantic drama based on Ben Sherwood’s best-selling novel, The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud.

Charlie St. Cloud (Zac Efron), is a gifted sailor in a small town, who receives a sailing scholarship to Stanford University. Before his departure for college, Charlie promises his young brother, Sam (Charlie Tahan) that they will play baseball together every day until he leaves. However, a tragedy happens when he and Sam get into a car accident. Although a paramedic is able to revive Charlie, Sam dies. At Sam’s funeral, Charlie runs away into the woods where he meets with Sam’s spirit. Charlie plans to continue his promise to Sam by practicing baseball everyday at sunset.

Five years later, Charlie, who gave up his scholarship, is now caretaker at a cemetery. During a trip into town, Charlie visits the boat docks and meets Tess Carroll (Amanda Crew), a sailor who dreams of one day sailing around the world.

Will the appearance of Tess change Charlie’s life?

The film debuts in Vietnam on Friday at MegaStar cinemas around the country and Galaxy Cinema in town.
