Derek Luke makes his screen debut in the title role of "Antwone Fisher," a Navy seaman whose disturbing personal past finds him too often lashing out quickly and violently at shipmates until he begins sharing thoughts with a caring Navy psychiatrist.
With impressive newcomer Derek Luke playing Fisher, a Naval scrub with a hair-trigger temper that belies a true sweetness, and the ever-steady Washington as the therapist who helps him face his dark past, the movie is a moving celebration of the power of family.
When the film catches up with Fisher (played by magnetic newcomer Derek Luke), he's a Navy enlistee with a hair-trigger temper who is ordered into counseling, where all this background comes out in sessions with Navy psychiatrist Denzel Washington, who also makes his directorial debut.

Antwone (Derek Luke) is a young sailor whose halcyon dreams of family and friends contrast sharply with the rigidity of military life; unable to deal with the disparity between the two, Fisher, lashes out physically at any- and everyone he perceives to be a threat to the tenuous stability he’s falsely created in his own mind.
