Plot Outline:
This epic
film chronicles the early events of the American Civil War. It's a prequel to
"Gettysburg", with some of the same cast, and is part of a planned trilogy. We
find Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the famous (and deeply religious) Confederate
general who, along with fellow General Robert E. Lee, must weigh the mighty consequences
of his actions, as each battle costs the lives of thousands of men. Over on the Union side
there's Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, who, like Jackson and Lee, is fond of making long,
poetic speeches to his troops. Beginning with the start of the war and ending with
Jackson's death, the film chronicles the three main battles leading up to Gettysburg,
using their actual locations and thousands of actual Civil War re-enactors as extras.
