Glory

Director: Edward Zwick

1989 / 122min / 35mm

Zwick’s rousing, emotional historical drama tells the story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first African American regiments to serve in the American Civil War, from their formation to their baptism by fire in the Second Battle of Fort Wagner. Matthew Broderick, as commanding officer Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, joins a cast of heavyweights including young Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman, while James Horner’s score and veteran DP Freddie Francis’s beautifully burnished cinematography contribute inestimably to Zwick’s tale of honor and horror on the battlefield.
