Ron Kovic (Tom Cruise) is committed to his decision to join the Marines to fight in the Vietnam War. But not before he gets to dance with Donna (Kyra Sedgwick) for possibly the last time.
Film Synopsis:
Tom Cruise delivers a riveting and unforgettable portrayal of Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic in Oliver Stone’s Academy Award®-winning masterpiece. Based on a true story, the acclaimed film follows the young Kovic from a zealous teen who eagerly volunteers for the Vietnam War, to an embittered veteran paralyzed from the mid-chest down. Deeply in love with his country, Kovic returned to an environment vastly different from the one he left, and struggled before emerging as a brave new voice for the disenchanted.
