Description

On returning home from war, nineteen-year-old Billy Lynn is welcomed as a decorated soldier and a national celebrity. The three minute video of his and the rest of Bravo Squad’s bravery under fire and defeat of Iraqi insurgents, is a YouTube sensation. Now they are the guests of honour at a nationally broadcast Thanksgiving Day Game at the Texus Stadium. The story follows the afternoon’s events as the young men are immersed in the world of film, fame, glory, sex and politics. But tomorrow they must go back to war.
