I don't think so, unless you have a source for that (about movies being subject to the law). Mine says that isn't true for performances.
From Title 10, U.S. Code:
CHAPTER 45—THE UNIFORM
While portraying a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, an actor in a theatrical or motion-picture production may wear the uniform of that armed force if the portrayal does not tend to discredit that armed force.
Further to that, the 1970 case SCHACHT v. UNITED STATES found that the 'discrediting' portion of the law was unconstitutional and civilian actors do in fact have every right to wear the uniform in a production and discredit the military if they so choose.
