"The Greatest Beer Run Ever" is based on the true story of John “Chickie” Donohue, who, disillusioned at home by political division and discord over Vietnam — the war at home at times as fierce as the war overseas — decided to show his support for his enlisted buddies from New York City’s Inwood neighborhood by tracking them down and giving them beers.

The movie “The Greatest Beer Run Ever” brings to life people and places that anyone who has served in uniform, or grown up in a neighborhood or community defined by loyalty and friendship can relate to.
