War Horse

Steven Spielberg combines the concept of "a boy and his dog" and "lovers separated by the war" into a moving story about a young man, Albert, his horse, Joey, and the odyssey they endure through WWI. See how the lives of many are touched by this noble steed with a big heart and lots of determination. Spielberg directs an emotional movie on an epic scale that may bring a few tears to your eyes. The film runs nearly 2 ½ hours long, but you'd never notice because the story is so captivating.
