Deutsch
Direkt nach Ende seiner Highschool-Zeit tritt Ron Kovic den Marines bei - ganz im naiven Glauben, seinem Land auf diese Weise am besten zu dienen. Die Army schickt ihn daraufhin in den Vietnamkrieg, wo er an einem aus Fahrlässigkeit resultierenden Massaker beteiligt ist, im unübersichtlichen Gefecht versehentlich einen Kameraden erschießt und sich schließlich – von der Brust bis zu den Füßen gelähmt – im Hospital wiederfindet. Psychisch schwer mitgenommen und für immer an den Rollstuhl gefesselt kehrt er zu Freunden und Verwandten in die Heimat zurück. Dort verteidigt er zuerst den Militäreinsatz und das eigene Engagement. Bald aber entwickelt er eine gegenteilige Sicht...

Italiano
Ron Kovic, nato il 4 luglio 1946, si arruola nei Marines e torna dal Vietnam, nel 1968, paralizzato nella parte inferiore del corpo e impotente. Attraverso varie esperienze arriva a una presa di coscienza pacifista e porta la sua testimonianza alla Convenzione Democratica del 1976.

Snímek vypráví přáběh Rona Kovice, veterána z Vietnamu... Slavný film otevřeně hovoří o vojně ve Vietnamu, o ochrnutém Ronovi Kovicovi, který se z nadšeného vlastence změnil na zapáleného bojovníka proti válce. Ve Vietnamu prošel peklem, ale ani návrat do normálního života nebyl o nic lehčí. Ron se musí naučit žít se svým ochrnutím, znovu si zvykat na rodné město, rodinu a přátele, což vůbec není jednoduché...

Ron Kovic lelkes, hazáját szerető ifjúként önkéntesnek jelentkezik a hadseregbe, hogy a vietnami háborúban szolgálja Amerikát. Az egyik összecsapásban szerzett súlyos sebesülés azonban kettétöri az életét. Félig bénán, élete végéig tolókocsihoz kötve tért haza. Ahogy a háborúban, úgy otthon is gyötrelmek sorozata várja: meg kell szoknia nyomorékságát, be kell illeszkednie családjába, környezetébe. Csak lassan ismeri föl, hogy nem a körülötte lévő világ változott meg, hanem ő maga. Ron Kovic az egyik legismertebb háborúellenes aktivista lesz. (port.hu)

Devenit un adevărat erou al orășelului său natal, tânărul Kovic își șochează toți cunoscuții înrolându-se în Marină, ca să poata lupta împotriva comuniștilor din Vietnam. Din păcate, curând află că există o mare diferență între luptătorul ideal și experiența războiului, că liniile morale care îi fuseseră induse de părinți și în care crezuse cu atâta tărie sunt de fapt inexistente în realitatea dură a războiului. Kovic este întâi derutat, apoi profund deziluzionat, descoperind că mulți dintre camarazii săi nu sunt cu nimic superiori inamicilor.

Den kritikerroste filmen er basert på en sann historie, og vi følger den unge Kovic fra å være en tjenestevillig tenåring som melder seg frivillig til Vietnamkrigen, til å bli en bitter krigsveteran som er lammet fra livet og ned.
