From the North, Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (JEFF DANIELS) says good-bye to his wife, Fanny (MIRA SORVINO), and joins forces with his brother, Lieutenant Thomas Chamberlain (C. THOMAS HOWELL), as they head south for battle.
Saying good-bye to his wife, Anna (KALI ROCHA), and putting all of his faith in God, Jackson similarly heads off for the frontlines, where the likes of Irish immigrant Sgt. "Buster" Kilrain (KEVIN CONWAY) can't believe he's going to be fighting his own people on the other side. As the likes of black cook Jim Lewis (FRANKIE FAISON) and Jane's servant, Martha (DONZALEIGH ABERNATHY), look on, the various battles rage over the next two years as the Confederate forces attempt to repel the invading Union army.
Profanity consists of a few minor expletives, while some imitative phrases are also present. Various characters drink and/or smoke, a woman briefly shows some cleavage and a married couple is seen in bed (but nothing more than kissing is seen). Meanwhile, varying degrees of bad attitudes are present, as are some tense family moments regarding war-related issues.
