Oliver Stone’s film Born on the Fourth of July made a major impact when it arrived before Christmas of 1989. The true story of Vietnam vet Ron Kovic who came back from the war in a wheelchair dealt with his wounds and the question of patriotism. The movie allowed Tom Cruise to show he could handle a serious dramatic role. He received his first Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Ron Kovic. Now the moving film is coming out on 4K UHD in November with a new bonus features including an Oliver Stone interview. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:

Los Angeles, CA – This Veteran’s Day, Oliver Stone’s acclaimed film Born on the Fourth of July arrives on 4K UHD for the first time.

Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick, Mission: Impossible) delivers a riveting and unforgettable portrayal of Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic in Oliver Stone’s Academy Award-winning masterpiece. Based on a true story, the acclaimed film follows the young Kovic from a zealous teen who eagerly volunteers for the Vietnam War, to an embittered veteran paralyzed from the mid-chest down.
