Born on the Fourth of July The movie that turned Tom Cruise's promise into practice, Born on the Fourth of July is the heartbreaking biopic about Ron Kovic, a Vietnam vet who just wanted to serve his country, but returns paralyzed and jaded. Set amidst the controversy surrounding America's most debated war, watching as Kovic comes to terms with the true nature of the service he thought was his duty is certain to make you realize not only the flaws of our great nation, but also the beating heart of our country: those who believe that serving their country is the greatest thing they can do, and sacrificing their well-being for our safety.
