45+ Years Later, One of the Greatest War Movies Ever Is Being Rewritten as a Streaming Hit on April 1

Cinema has never been afraid to tackle the biggest and most contentious events in the world. This is no better illustrated than in the war genre, and there is perhaps no conflict more associated with cinema than Vietnam. From a superb Tom Cruise performance in Born on the Fourth of July and the six Academy Award wins of Forrest Gump to a 31-year-old Willem Dafoe's Platoon and the star-studded The Deer Hunter, some of the greatest movies of all time are set against the volatile backdrop of the Vietnam War.
