The TNT original GETTYSBURG is a sweeping production depicting the events that led up to the Battle of Gettysburg and the three-day battle itself, which claimed tens of thousands of lives, turned the tide of the Civil War, and eventually put an end to slavery in the United States. An excellent production illuminating the horrors and heroes of this uniquely idealistic war, the film boasts terrific performances from Jeff Daniels, Tom Berenger, and Martin Sheen. The screenplay was based on the best-selling novel THE KILLER ANGELS by Michael Shaara.
"...Gere's showy but intense performance is the film's real focus, and it commands attention..."
-- Stephen Holden
, (New York Times)
"...There are real virtues in almost all the performances..." -- Tom Tunney , (Sight and Sound) "...GETTYSBURG succeeds as a motion picture event, and as a recreation of a pivotal chapter of American history..." -- Daniel M. Kimmel , (Variety) "...This is a film that Civil War buffs will find indispensable..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times) "...[This] epic does catch viewers up in the Civil War's three-day turning point -- both on tactical and humanistic levels, and from the viewpoint of both sides..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today)
