Home of the Brave is a 1986 American concert film featuring the music of Laurie Anderson, who also directed the movie. The film's full on-screen title is Home of the Brave: A Film by Laurie Anderson. The performances were filmed in Brooklyn during the summer of 1985.

The film included appearances by guitarist Adrian Belew, Beat author William S. Burroughs (who famously briefly dances a slow tango with Anderson during one song), keyboardist Joy Askew, and percussionist David Van Tieghem. Also, Barry Sonnenfeld, who was early in his movie-making career, receives an early film credit for operating "second projection camera" on this film. The film wasreleased by Warner Bros., but was commercially unsuccessful.

Musical selections included songs taken from Anderson's 1984 album, Mister Heartbreak (the film was shot during a tour in support of the album), as well as a couple of selections from her United States multimedia show of 1983 and several original pieces. The first song performed by Anderson in the film is "Excellent Birds", a collaboration with Peter Gabriel from Mister Heartbreak. Although Gabriel does not appear in this film and the song is not performed as a duet, Home of the Brave was released a few months after a second version of the song (a duet between Gabriel and Anderson) appeared on Gabriel's album, So.

The following pieces are performed in the film:

Good Evening (instrumental)
Zero and One (spoken word)
Excellent Birds
Old Hat (spoken word)
Drum Dance (instrumental)
Smoke Rings
Late Show (instrumental with vocal sample by William S.
Burroughs)

Kokoku
Radar (instrumental with wordless vocalizations by Anderson)
Gravity's Angel
Langue D'Amour
Talk Normal
Difficult Listening Hour (spoken word)
Language is a Virus
Sharkey's Night
Credit Racket (instrumental)

Only "Late Show", "White Lily", "Radar", "Sharkey's Night" and "Credit Racket" appear on the soundtrack album as they appear on film. Studio versions of "Smoke Rings", "Language is a Virus" and "Talk Normal" are used on the album. None of the other performances in this film have to date been released in audio format.
