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.
