First time ever to air on RFD-TV – in honor of the 160th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and in celebration of Independence Day!
On July 1–3, 1863, the Northern and Southern forces fought at Gettysburg in the decisive battle of the American Civil War. In just three days of brutal conflict, nearly 50,000 Americans were killed or wounded, more than died in all the years of Vietnam. They were farmers and schoolteachers, gentlemen and laborers. They came from Maine and Texas, from New York and Virginia. It was a conflict that turned neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend. Faith made them soldiers. War made them brothers. Courage made them heroes.
Adapted from the 1974 historical novel “The Killer Angels” by Michael Shaara, this American epic war film features an ensemble cast, including Tom Berenger as James Longstreet, Jeff Daniels as Joshua Chamberlain, Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee, Stephen Lang as George Pickett, and Sam Elliott as John Buford.
