The War DVD (1994) Widescreen - Kevin Costner, Elijah Wood

Kevin Costner stars as Stephen Simmons, a Vietnam veteran who returns to his family in 1970s Mississippi struggling with PTSD. His two children, Stu (Elijah Wood) and Lidia, engage in a "war" of their own with a rival group of neighborhood kids over a prized tree fort, all while learning hard lessons about life, family, and the futility of conflict.

From the director of Fried Green Tomatoes, this is a "beautiful movie" about "loyalty, bravery, friendship, respect and above all Love". Critics praised the "brilliant" performances, especially from the young actors, and the film's "love and warmth," comparing Costner's "kind and wise father" role to To Kill a Mockingbird.

"What's worth fighting for?" This is a powerful, heartwarming, and often heartbreaking coming-of-age drama. It's a hidden gem from the 90s, featuring fantastic early performances from Elijah Wood and a post-Waterworld Kevin Costner in a grounded, human role.
