See the films the platforms disagree about most →A 19-year-old soldier and his squad return from the Iraq War for a victory tour, culminating in a halftime show at a Thanksgiving football game. The event forces Billy to confront the public's perception of the war, which contrasts sharply with his own traumatic memories of combat. He struggles with the disconnect between the hero's welcome and the brutal reality he experienced.
