The films of screenwriter Bill Broyles have time and again cemented themselves as classics of American cinema. Following his debut with the acclaimed series 'China Beach', came films including 'Apollo 13', 'Cast Away' and 'Jarhead'. Broyles' writing for the screen has been informed at least in part by an eventful personal life. As a young man, he was a US Marine Corps platoon commander in the Vietnam War, an experience he recalls in the Apple TV+ series 'Vietnam: The War That Changed America'. He was subsequently a journalist, launching 'Texas Monthly' and editing 'Newsweek' before heading to Hollywood. Broyles sits down with Andrew Mueller for a contemplative look back on his successes and failures, as well as reflecting on the best and worst aspects of American culture.
