Ang Lee directs this drama based on the bestselling novel by Ben Fountain. When 19-year-old Billy Lynn (Joe Alwyn) is brought home for a victory tour after serving in a monumental battle in Iraq, he discovers that what the American people are led to believe happens at war is very different from the reality. While Billy is awarded the prestigious Silver Star and is asked to be part of a halftime show at a Thanksgiving Day football game, he struggles to deal with his new life and being branded a hero for what he will forever remember as the worst day of his life. The cast also includes Kristen Stewart as Billy's sister Kathryn and Steve Martin as owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Norm Oglesby.
