The War is a movie about a war veteran who returns home from with PTS. It is about how he copes with the trauma and how it effects his family. The dad (Steven) returned home from war but cant keep a job because of his dreams or the fact that he stayed in a mental hospital for awhile after the war. While fighting and friend he went through training with was injured along with all the other soldiers with them. He carried his friend back to the helicopter but they only had room for one person. He had to leave his friend behind and get on the helicopter without him. After coming home, he got a job pumping water with a friend he made from a previous job. while they were working rocks fell on top of his friend. He refused to leave him behind like he did to his friend during war. His friend get free but causes more rocks to fall. They hit Steven and he is badly injured. He dies shortly after the accident. Stu (his son) puts all his focus on building a tree house, anything to distract him from his fathers death. He refuses to believe that it is true then turns and blames himself.
Stu and his sister have an ongoing feud with another family. The kids of the other family take over the tree house that they built. To get it back, they go thought their fathers old war stuff and prepare to fight for it. All the kids go crazy while fighting. Both going so far that they ruin the fort in the fight. The sister says they all "lost their minds" while fighting for the fort. Just like their dad lost his mind fighting during the war.
