Based on the acclaimed play and novel, this tale of a horse who touches numerous lives during the chaos of WWI is unselfconsciously epic: “bold, not afraid of sentiment [with] magnificently staged action sequences. Its characters are clearly defined and strongly played by charismatic actors… The film is made with superb artistry. Spielberg is the master of an awesome canvas.” (Roger Ebert)
