Andersonville

Drama, History, War · 1996

From acclaimed director John Frankenheimer comes this highly suspenseful drama about men pushed to the limits of human endurance. During the United States Civil War, thousands of Union soldiers are held under inhuman conditions in a prisoner of war camp called Andersonville. With hundreds dying each day of starvation, exposure and disease, this dramatic tale of survival explores the limits of courage. Sergeant McSpadden and Josiah Day lead a fearless band of men against the brutality of the most notorious prison of its time and the savagery of its inmates. Hunted like animals and tortured without mercy, they trust each other and are willing to sacrifice their own lives for the chance to escape Andersonville.
