Born on the Fourth of July

Based on the true story of Ron Kovic (Cruise, in an Oscar-nominated performance), an idealistic young American proudly enlists during the Vietnam War and returns home a paraplegic. Struggling to overcome drug-addiction and depression, he turns his life around and becomes an outspoken critic of the war.
Born on the Fourth of July

Tom overacts like a hyperactive squirrel to varying degrees but the film still manages to deliver decent emotional weight. Acceptable.
