Story Synopsis:
Tom Cruise gives an Oscar®-nominated performance in Born On The Fourth Of July as Ron Kovic (based on his book), a young man who eagerly volunteered for the Vietnam war. He returns to the U.S., however, an embittered veteran paralyzed from the mid-chest down. Even though he deeply loves his country, he is confused by the environment he finds upon his return to the states and eventually finds his calling as an anti-war activist.
