Plot Summary: This historical epic depicts the pivotal three-day battle of the American Civil War, following the actions and decisions of key figures from both the Union and Confederate armies. It showcases the strategic movements, fierce fighting at crucial locations like Little Round Top, and the climactic Confederate charge known as Pickett's Charge.

Dad's Preview: This is a very well-done historical epic recreating one of the most pivotal battles in American history. The viewer is asked to take in all the pieces that had to come together for this battle to occur. It is all there: Devil's Den, Little Roundtop, Pickett's charge. I get that this was years ago, but historically, it is important to understand what occurred there in June of 1863. Jeff Daniels' performance shines, as Col. Chamberlain, in charge of the 20th Maine on Little Roundtop.
