Tristar Pictures has set a November 11, 2016 release date for Ang Lee‘s “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”, the studio announced Friday, April 17, according to TheWrap.

Based on the bestselling novel by Ben Fountain, the story follows 19-year-old Texas-born infantryman Billy Lynn (played by newcomer Joe Alwyn) and his fellow U.S. servicemen who survive a firefight in Iraq in 2005.

The Bush administration brings the veterans home for a victory lap that leads them to the Dallas Cowboys’ football stadium where they’re honored during the team’s Thanksgiving halftime show before they return to war in Iraq.
