Executive produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, Gettysburg strips away the romanticized veneer of the Civil War to present the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in a new light--a visceral, terrifying and deeply personal experience, fought by men who put everything on the line in defense of their vision of the American future. Cinematic in scope, Gettysburg is an information-packed look at the turning points, strategic decisions, technology and little-known facts surrounding the battle. Developed in collaboration with highly esteemed Civil War historians, Gettysburg reflects hundreds of individual accounts of the battle -- the unique voices of struggle, defeat and triumph that tell the larger story of a bitterly conflicted nation.
Finally watching this. I've had it sitting on the DVR since Memorial Day. I really should have watched it much sooner, it's nothing short of excellent.
