On July 1, 1863, more than 150,000 Union and Confederate soldiers were drawn into one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. When it was all over, 50,000 men had paid the ultimate price. Today, Gettysburg is known as the turning point of the war and a pivotal event in American history. Featuring some of the most authentic Civil War battle scenes ever committed to film, and outstanding performances by the cast, "Gettysburg" accurately depicts the events, battles and personal struggles of valor on both sides of the Civil War. |
