Birdy, een Vietnamveteraan, is zwaar getekend door zijn oorlogservaringen. Hij verblijft, totaal in zichzelf gekeerd, in een psychiatrische instelling van het Amerikaanse leger. Als kind was hij bezeten door het idee te kunnen vliegen als een vogel en nu gelooft hij dat hij één van zijn gevleugelde vriendjes uit zijn jeugd is.
Nee, helaas is Birdy nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
