Gettysburg (Director's Cut) (2 disc special edition Blu ray)

In the summer of 1863, the Confederates are advancing north through Pennsylvania and Union divisions are being assembled to confront them. The two mighty armies meet near the small town of Gettysburg. For three fateful days, the soldiers engage in fierce battles that will go down in history. Director Ronald F. Maxwell has filmed the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil in a stirring production about the "strategies, calculations, mistakes and heroism that turned the tide of the Civil War; a movie that Civil War history buffs should not miss." (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Tom Berenger, Jeff Daniels, Martin Sheen, Richard Jordan and others star in this impressive epic, filmed on the original battle sites with uncompromising attention to authentic detail - down to the last soldier's boot.
