In Ang Lee’s groundbreaking 2016 war drama, young soldier Billy Lynn (Joe Alwyn) becomes an overnight American hero after a viral video captures him bravely dragging his mortally wounded sergeant to safety during a fierce firefight in Iraq. Now, Billy and his Bravo Squad are thrust into a surreal victory tour back home, culminating in a high-profile appearance at the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving halftime show.

Starring Joe Alwyn as the introspective 19-year-old specialist, Vin Diesel as the philosophical Sergeant “Shroom”, Kristen Stewart as Billy’s concerned sister Kathryn, Garrett Hedlund as tough Staff Sgt. Dime, Chris Tucker as slick producer Albert Brown, Steve Martin as wealthy team owner Norm Oglesby, and Makenzie Leigh as the charming cheerleader Faison. Supporting cast includes Beau Knapp, Arturo Castro, Ismael Cruz Córdova, and more as the battle-hardened Bravo Squad members.

Through intense flashbacks, the film contrasts the brutal reality of war with the glossy, commercialized patriotism of home. As fireworks explode and the crowd cheers, Billy grapples with PTSD, loss, and the uncomfortable truth that fame feels empty when it glorifies the worst day of his life. A powerful, visually stunning exploration of heroism, celebrity, and the disconnect between soldiers and society. Directed by Ang Lee with innovative high-frame-rate technology.
