It's a film rich with humor, nostalgia and mesmerizing performances. It is, in the words of the National News Syndicate, \"a must-see movie.\"\n\nBonus Content:\n\n\n *  Production Notes\n *  Cast and Filmmakers\n *  Theatrical Trailer\n\n\n\n AMAZON.COM \n Kevin Costner is the big name here, but the film belongs squarely to Elijah Wood, who plays his son. The film deals with the children of a Vietnam veteran in 1970 Mississippi; as their dad (Costner) tries to cope with posttraumatic stress disorder after serving in the war, the kids build a mammoth tree house in the woods--then must defend it against the local white-trash bullies. The film includes a particularly harrowing contest involving a swim across the reservoir of a decrepit water tower; still, director Jon Avnet can't avoid a certain \"can't we all just get along\" didactic message. That doesn't put a damper on the youthfully natural quality of the child actors, and Costner is actually quite winning as a sensitive, troubled soul. --Marshall Fine","brand":"Nickelflix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50568722841878,"sku":null,"price":2.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/7714\/2381\/files\/71uozrkZ0EL._SL1500.jpg?v=1759513563","url":"https:\/\/nickelflix.com\/products\/the-war","provider":"Nickelflix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
