From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure
for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural
England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with
the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man
called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully
parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he
moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he
meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his
granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart
of No Man’s Land.
The First World War is experienced through the journey of this
horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high
adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and
war— a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful
international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It
now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors
in film history.
