Ridley Scott brings the bloodiest battle in US History to life as you’ve never seen it before.
The battle of Gettysburg is widely credited with determining the course of the Civil War. A brand-new, feature length special from HISTORY, Gettysburg will strip away the romanticised veneer of the Civil War and present the engagement in a new light: a visceral, terrifying experience with everything on the line.
At its core, this is the story of the soldiers on the ground, not the generals who commanded from behind the frontlines. Compelling CGI and powerful action footage place viewers in the midst of the fighting, delivering both an emotional cinematic experience and an information packed look at the turning points, technology, and little known facts of perhaps America’s greatest battle.
• Gettysburg received a total of 7 nominations for the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards.
• An action packed documentary from Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Alien and Black Hawk Down).
• Run time 85 Minutes.
