In 1898, the U.S. Government decided to intervene on the side of the Cuban rebels in their struggle against Spanish rule. Assistant Navy Secretary Theodore Roosevelt decides to experience the war first hand by promoting and joining a volunteer cavalry regiment. The regiment, later known as the Rough Riders, brings together volunteers from all corners of the nation and all walks of life. When Roosevelt and his men finally land on Cuba, they face ambush, intense enemy fire, and a desperate, outnumbered charge up a defended hill.
Undersecretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt resigns to form a volunteer militia unit called "The Rough Riders" to fight in the Spanish-American War.
This is one of my all time favorite movies, I actually bought the commercially produced tape of it. I am a Living Historian/Reenactor, I do a Spanish American War impression, I read everything I can about the SA War, and these people got it right. Some over-dramatization of course, playing with the facts. The Spanish did not have machine guns at Santiago, if they had, the battle would have turned out of little different-look at the havoc machine guns cause in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 then in WWI. But it looks great to see "our boys" valiantly charging up hill against them (nice of the Spanish to be such lousy shots). The U.S. officer in charge of the Gatling guns was Lt. John J. Parker, about 35 (promotions were slow back then) and he was know as "Blackie" for his luxurious black beard. William Shafter had a full head of hair, a mustache but no beard, the actor portraying him is bald with a beard, plus he really didn't do justice to Shafter's corpulence (he weighed over 300lbs). And the scenes where the Spanish soldiers all have left handed rifles and the Maxims are feeding from the left, later when the Rough Riders capture one Roosevelt says "I can see it feeds from the right"-poor film editing. And the Spanish had no need of German advisers, they had a long and proud military tradition. Also the scene where Roosevelt tells his men to "kill the German"-TR ordering a prisoner to be murdered? I think not.
Against these perhaps minor criticisms (hey, I am have taught history at a community college) I will state that the uniforms and equipment of the troops on both side are correct, the depiction of black soldiers in the battle is correct-all four of the Army's black regiments were in Cuba, the 9th & 10th Cavalry, the and 25th Infantry, the Rough Riders were brigaded with the 10th Cavalry. Mostly importantly, the film captures the mood, the mannerisms, the atmosphere of the time, the idea of the sons of New York's wealthiest families so eager to get into the fight that they will serve as enlisted men, and the fact that the War of 1898 ended many of the divisions left over from the war of 1861-1865 and in a sense we went from being the "United States" to the "United States of America".
I first saw this picture some years ago and just watched it again. One of the finest Military pictures ever made, with two outstanding performances by Tom Berringer and Gary Busey. For those other reviews who look down on this film, you have no heart. There is more humanity, heart, compassion, pathos, adventure, sacrifice, heroism, and greatness is this picture than one can shake a stick at. It is a great film on a par with GETTYSBURG, which I think is the finest military film ever made. Tom Berringer is stunning as Roosevelt, the finest performance of his career. Busey is just marvelous as "Fighting Joe Wheeler", the best thing he has done since Buddy Holly. Dale Dye is excellent as Leonard Wood, holder of the Medal of Honor for the Indian Wars, for whom Fort Leonard Wood is named. Chris Noth is memorable as Craig Wadsworth, particularly in a scene with Stephen Crane where he talks about his "Red Badge of Courage". All in all this is an excellent film about a little known area of American history. The Spanish-American war brought America onto the world stage and we have never left. See it. You won't regret it.
