Why watch the movie Born On the Fourth of July?
"This is Tom Cruise's first major performance in his career, as he plays Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic - and that alone makes the movie worth watching. But the work is more than that, becoming a true experience about the Vietnam War. Watch to understand what drove so many young men to sacrifice for their country, and so many others to criticize the US's interventionist policy."
