In the film, British father-and-son soldiers clash with American father-son fighters, inflicting wounds and death upon one another—a stark depiction of the brutal and tragic consequences of war.
My conviction is that at the heart of any war lies the devastating reality of family against family, brother against brother—where no one truly emerges victorious. The Revolutionary War, as portrayed by Academy Award-winner Al Pacino ('Scent of a Woman'), captures this very essence of conflict and its toll on humanity.
President Ronald Reagan emphasized the importance of understanding and appreciating the nation's core values:
"We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise."

"From director Hugh Hudson ("Chariots of Fire," "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan") comes a very special film about love and war. Set in the chaotic, emotionally charged days of the Revolutionary War, Academy Award-winner Al Pacino ("Scent of a Woman," "The Godfather") and the object of his obsessive desire, Nastassja Kinski ("Tess," "Cat People") are caught up in the violent and bloody war. "A thrilling vision of our country's birth pangs," exclaims the Los Angeles Times. "No other film has made American history come so alive," praises L.A. Weekly. "A superb, intensely human, beautifully produced, directed film. One of the very best of the year. Absolutely brilliant," (KCBS-TV). Co-starring Golden Globe-winner Donald Sutherland ("A Time to Kill," "Outbreak"), Oscar-nominee Joan Plowright ("Enchanted April"), Steven Berkoff ("War and Remembrance"), and singer-actress Annie Lennox."
