Summary of The Man Without a Face

In Mel Gibson's directorial debut, THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE, Chuck Nordstadt (Nick Stahl) has idealized the memory of his deceased fighter pilot father so much that he dreams of one day walking in his footsteps by attending military school. When he fails the entrance exam at his father's alma mater, Chuck asks former teacher Justin McLeod (Mel Gibson), a disfigured recluse living in the coastal village where Chuck and his family are vacationing, to help tutor him.
