Experience World War I Through a Horse's Eyes

DreamWorks Pictures’ War Horse, an epic adventure by director Steven Spielberg, is a tale of loyalty, hope, and tenacity set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War.

War Horse begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.

The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. War Horse is one of the great stories of friendship and war. A successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is currently on Broadway. It now comes to the screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.
 
War Horse is presented by DreamWorks Pictures, directed by Steven Spielberg, and produced by Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy. The screenplay is by Lee Hall and Richard Curtis, based on the book by Michael Morpurgo and the recent stage play by Nick Stafford, which was originally produced by the National Theatre of Great Britain and directed by Marianne Elliot and Tom Morris.
