Three-time Oscar winner Ang Lee dives right into an extraordinary vision of\u00a0Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk<\/em><\/a>, based on the bestselling novel. The film tells the perspective of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn, played by Joe Alwyn, who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing battle in Iraq and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story spins with flashbacks, culminating at the Thanksgiving Day football game’s spectacular halftime show. The film reveals what really happened to the squad, which contrasts the war’s realities with America’s perceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, Vin Diesel, and Steve Martin. Lee used a new technology that, for the first time in film history, enabled ultra-high frame-rate shooting. He created an immersive digital experience that helped him dramatize war in a way we’ve never seen before. Lee directed and produced the film from a screenplay by Jean-Christophe Castelli and based on the novel by Ben Fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
