Born on the Fourth of July is a 1989 American war drama film adaptation of the best-selling autobiography of the same name by Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic.

Tom Cruise plays Ron Kovic, in a performance that earned him his first Academy Award nomination. Oliver Stone (himself a Vietnam veteran) co-wrote the screenplay with Kovic, and also produced and directed the film. Stone wanted to film the movie in Vietnam, but because relations between the United States and Vietnam had not yet been normalized, it was instead filmed in the Philippines. The film is considered part of Stone's "trilogy" of films about the Vietnam War—following Platoon (1986) and preceding Heaven & Earth (1993).

Born on the Fourth of July was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won two, for Best Director and Best Film Editing; it also won four Golden Globe Awards and a Directors Guild of America Award. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing $161,001,698 worldwide.

John Williams has scored three movies under the director Oliver Stone. These are JFK, Nixon and Born on the Fourth of July. Williams had experience scoring historical movies before, with Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun, but never before had he done such a profane and important film before. Born on the Fourth of July began Williams’ descent into some of the more historically important films to date. These including Schindler’s List and most recentlySaving Private Ryan. The music from Born on the Fourth awesomely reflects the somber yet human nature of the movie and can be immensely moving.

Williams' first collaboration with Oliver Stone is symphonic work on the biggest canvas. As with their next collaboration, JFK, the music is suffused by a real sense of America yet also full of Stone's sadness and regret, this time reflecting his feelings about Vietnam and the fallout for the veterans after they returned home. From the very first note, this contains some of Williams' most impassioned music, the emotion coming through in everything from the massed string section to the solo cornet. Williams has used music describe some of the key wars of the 20th Century but few of his scores attain the level of tragedy and loss-of-innocence as this.
