"Né le jour de la fête nationale en 1946, Ron Kovic a été élevé dans le respect de la famille et de la patrie. Lorsqu'un sergent recruteur passe à son école au début des années 60, il n'a de cesse de s'enrôler dans le corps d'élite des Marines pour aller servir au Viêt-nam. Dans la fièvre d'un combat, il tue par mégarde l'un de ses camarades et est lui-même blessé peu après. Devenu paraplégique, il évolue dans sa conception des valeurs patriotiques au contact de contestataires et devient l'un des leaders d'un mouvement de protestation organisé par des anciens combattants contre la prolongation du conflit au Viêt-nam."
