Summary

This film is about the pathology of American conservatism and how that conservatism was turned upside down after limbless soldiers returned from the Vietnam War. From young dreamer to broken soldier, Ron Kovic’s journey is startling and ironic; a vision that could only have been imparted by Oliver Stone.
