In , a film adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg was released and was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture. War Horse begins at a farm auction when a drunk named Ted Narracott buys a young horse for thirty-nine guineas, instead of the colt he was sent to buy.

While living with the Narracotts, Joey becomes close to a horse named Zoey from a nearby farm. One day, Ted, whose farm is struggling, sells Joey to the army before Albert can stop him.
