A Stunning and Enthralling Epic from Director STEVEN SPIELBERG! A Fantastic War Movie that Will Appeal to All Audiences. War Horse is based on the children’s book and play of the same name. A truly exceptional war film about courage in both man and beast that can only come from Spielberg!
Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, War Horse begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets-British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter-before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse-an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure.
