In this episode, we take a deep dive into Oliver Stone’s powerful
1989 biographical drama Born on the Fourth of July, starring Tom
Cruise in a career-defining role as Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic. We
explore how the film portrays Kovic’s journey from idealistic
youth and proud Marine to paralyzed anti-war activist, examining
its raw depiction of trauma, disillusionment, and the cost of
blind patriotism.
