During the American Civil War, a black corps "Massachusetts 54th Corps" led by whites wrote a glorious page in the battle of Charles Stan in the south. This film is a dramatic way to record A masterpiece of history on this page.
Robert Gouldshaw (Matthew Broderick), a white military officer, takes over the post of commander of the corps with dedication to the military and trains a group of rabble who escaped from the slave system of the South to the North into one. A well-disciplined army, and finally died heroically in the battle to attack the fortress. Director Edward Zwick made tears unbearable when he showed the mistreatment of black people.

    When it comes to serious subjects such as race and politics, it doesn't matter how you shoot!
