Joey is sold to the cavalry by Albert's alcoholic father and finds himself trapped in the devastating fields of war while Albert is trying to find him. Based on the book by Michael Morpurgo, War Horsedepicts the story of Albert Narracott, played by Jeremy Irvine, and his treasured horse Joey in Britain where World War I is about to begin. Early reviews are now saying that this film will be in the running for major Academy Awards - a statement that seems accurate after watching the film. After all, the stage play and book were massive hits, so the film would have a lot to live up to.


When it was announced that Steven Spielberg was directing a film adaptation of War Horse, fans across the UK were a little apprehensive.
