Core, The (Full Frame)
Academy Award winner Hilary Swank ("Boys Don't Cry") leads an all-star cast in this electrifying journey that puts you in the middle of the most spectacular film adventure.

In 1998, West Point made David Lipsky an unprecedented offer: stay at the Academy as long as you like, go wherever you wish, talk to whomever you want, to discover why some of America's most promising young people sacrifice so much to become cadets.
