Three-time Academy
Award® winner Ang Lee brings his extraordinary vision to Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, based on the
widely-acclaimed, bestselling novel. The film is told from the point of
view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his
fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle
and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour. Through flashbacks,
culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football
game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the
realities of the war with America’s perceptions. The film also stars
Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, with Vin Diesel, and Steve
Martin. Lee used new technology, shooting at an ultra-high frame rate for the
first time in film history, to create an immersive digital experience helping
him dramatize war in a way never seen before.
