🎥 Born on the Fourth of July (1989)

When All-American high school hero Ron Kovic (played by Tom Cruise) enlists to fight in Vietnam, he believes he is fulfilling his dream of serving his country. Based on a true story, Oliver Stone draws on his own combat experiences to provide a powerful critique of war's futility, confusion, and devastating cost.

‘Stone's feisty, intensely personal style of filmmaking is well-known. With Born on the Fourth of July we are treated to a poignant, spirited and captivating - for the broken heartedness of it all - performance by Tom Cruise.’ – San Francisco Chronicle
