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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second film in Oliver Stone's Vietnam trilogy moves from the brutality of war in \u003cbr\u003ePlatoon\u003cbr\u003e to its equally traumatic aftermath. Based on the memoir of combat veteran Ron Kovic, the film stars Tom Cruise as Kovic, whose gunshot wound in Vietnam left him paralyzed from the chest down. He is deeply embittered by neglect in a veteran's hospital and by the shattering of his patriotic idealism because of the horror and futility of the Vietnam conflict. While painfully and awkwardly adjusting to his disability and a changing definition of masculinity, Kovic joins the burgeoning movement of antiwar protest, culminating in a climactic appearance at the 1976 Democratic national convention. A powerfully intimate portrait that unfolds on an epic scale, \u003cbr\u003eBorn on the Fourth of July\u003cbr\u003e is arguably Stone's best film (if you can forgive its often strident tone), and Cruise's Oscar-nominated role is uncompromising in its depiction of one man's personal anguish and political awakening. \u003cbr\u003e--Jeff Shannon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":41808595419293,"sku":"83273","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/products\/202211412505529.jpg?v=1642546548","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/born-on-the-fourth-of-july","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
