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 paralysed 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.

A very important anti-war film that showed the futility of the Vietnam war and the suffering it caused to the men who went and their families. It is a little bit shocking, but it's probably the most accurate Vietnam movie ever made alongside Platoon. Oliver Stone is the man!

shows clearly the futility of war.
Especially the Vietnam war!
very sad for the man/women that are hurt or killed on both sides...
This movie is an excellent anti-dote for the glorification of war we so often see in other movies!

Not a Cruise fan but enjoyed this thought provoking movie. They could well re-release this movie in an updated version by just replacing a couple of key words ie. Communism with Terrorism and Vietnam with Iraq !
