When Rachel, a radio personality, discovers a Purple Heart at a garage sale she decides to find out its history. She finds that the medal belonged to a man named Harlan Erickson, a long-lost brother of the town's leading citizen.
Directed by James Keach, False Identity leans on a strong ensemble — Stacy Keach, Geneviève Bujold, Tobin Bell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
