Directed by: Oliver Stone Written by: Oliver Stone & Ron Kovic, based on the book by Ron Kovic Starring: Tom Cruise, Kyra Sedgwick, Raymond J. Barry, Jerry Levine, Frank Whaley, Caroline Kava & Willem Dafoe What the box says: 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 retuned to an environment vastly different from the one he left, and struggled before emerging as a brave new voice for the disenchanted. |
