Sinopsis
Inspirada en la autobiografía de Ron Kovic. Segunda parte de la trilogía sobre Vietnam: muestra la historia de un joven que se alista como voluntario para ir a la guerra, convencido de que defender a su país es la mejor manera de demostrarle su amor. Pero sus convicciones cambiarán radicalmente cuando regrese como veterano de guerra, postrado en una silla de ruedas y atendido en un cochambroso hospital.
