- 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.
- This movie combines the best elements of western and war movies. Fantastic cast. Berenger is outstanding as Roosevelt. Who would have thought he would be so good in this role? From his other movies I've seen, this is a totally different type of role for him. And Sam Elliot, Gary Busey, Chris Noth, George Hamilton, and all the rest of the cast are outstanding. Wonderful casting job.<br/><br/>What a sleeper this movie is. I can't believe it's out of print, and never even been issued on DVD. Get a used copy if you possible can. You won't be sorry! <br/><br/>WW Tampa
- ....last thing that Brian Keith did, it aired about a month after he took his own life in '97. He was def. looking kinda ragged in his few scenes as Pres. McKinley. You get to see a couple ex drill instructors-Dale Dye and R Lee Embry more or less play themselves, Tom Berengeur chew the scenary as Teddy R, and scads of familiar faces-Erik Allen Kramer, Brad Johnson, Geoffrey Lewis, Gary Busey, the Fat General (can't think of his name...) and Ileana Douglas round out the cast. <br/><br/>It's interesting to see how moguls like Hearst played up the 'Spanish Menace' angle to push us into the war, while fronting for the sugar and Tobacco interests, among others. Did Hearst(George Hamilton) really go down to Cuba and play Jungle Jim? And was Stephen Crane that loopy? I have no idea. <br/><br/>They do a decent job showing the Spanish as brave soldiers, showing that war isn't a picnic, and the additional horrors of war-yellow fever, bad medicine, random loss of life, etc. <br/><br/>It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it's certainly worth a look-see if you get the chance on TNT.<br/><br/>**1/2 outta ****
