- Undersecretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt resigns to form a volunteer militia unit called "The Rough Riders" to fight in the Spanish-American War.
- 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.
- My main quibble with this script (and I did love the movie) was at the time I was reading my copy of Richard Harding Davis, "The Notes of a War Correspondent", his description of the battle came from the actor playing Stephen Crane's. RH Davis is worthy of a rousing action movie in his own right. Would have been a great addition to the movie.
- "Rough Riders" is an excellent movie about the 1st Volunteer Cavalry a.k.a. the Rough Riders. The movie begins with the declaration of war and the efforts of Theodore Roosevelt to raise a cavalry regiment that will fight in Cuba. The period of training for the troopers is grueling but you learn much about the characters that will be featured. Most of the movie concerns the Rough Riders in combat, especially the famous charge at Kettle and SanJuan Hills. The fighting is quite exciting and authentic. The Spanish-American War may be regarded as an imperialistic war but the "Rough Riders" is well-acted and shows the human as well as propaganda side of warfare.
