About this product

Product Information

GLORY recounts the bravery of a group of Civil War soldiers often overlooked by history--the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts, a troop of free black men who fought to help win liberty for their enslaved brothers. Based on the historical novels ONE GALLANT RUSH by Peter Burchand and LAY THIS LAUREL by Lincoln Kirstein and the letters of Robert Gould Shaw, the film follows the youthful Colonel Shaw (Matthew Broderick) as he takes responsibility for readying these soldiers for battle. Shaw, a privileged young Boston Brahman, finds the job harder than expected because many of the men balk at taking orders from him. Private Trip (Denzel Washington) is especially resistant to Shaw's leadership, but over time the two come to an understanding as they endure the hardships of the war. On July 18, 1863, Shaw volunteers the 54th for the honor of leading the charge against Ft. Wagner, a mission that means almost certain death, with Trip carrying the regiment's colors into battle. This gritty and realistic vision of the horrors of war is a moving and critical examination of a lost piece of history. Beautifully shot and triumphantly acted (by a cast that also includes Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and Andre Braugher), director Edward Zwick's film serves as a tribute to the courage and selfless bravery of the black soldiers of the Civil War.

  • Currently my favorite movie

    This movie does not spoon feed the audience. It is smart and beautiful. So much is conveyed by facial expression, silence and atmosphere. I love love love this movie. I gave movie a chance because of actors and reviews, but I generally am not interested in war movies. I didn't even expect to be interested enough to watch the entire thing, but once it started I was hooked. This movie transcends and will take hold of the non-war movie fan. I could not recommend this movie more.

  • Realistic, Maybe Too Much So

    The brutality of the Civil War is played out in this movie of the 1st All Black Regiment of the 54th Massachusetts. Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington and Matthew Broderick played great roles. It' just a shame that Ft. Wagner was never taken by the Union.
