This movie gives an insight into the three days of the Battle of Gettysburg. This was one of the most decisive engagements of the Civil War. Using countless volunteer re-enactors from across the entire US, most of the filming took place on the actual historic battlefields in Virginia where the original fighting took place. Many of the famous military figures such as Gen. Robert E. Lee (Martin Sheen), Lt. Gen. James Longstreet (Tom Berenger), Col. Joshua Chamberlain (Jeff Daniels), and Maj. Gen. George E. Pickett (Stephen Lang), are shown struggling with personal issues as well as military dilemmas. The film has action on a grand scale accompanied with historical drama and a spectacular sound track.
