WesternWar

A Union Cavalry outfit is sent behind confederate lines in strength to destroy a rail supply center. Along with them is sent a doctor who causes instant antipathy between him and the commander. The secret plan for the mission is overheard by a southern belle who must be taken along to assure her silence.

VIBE

A grand, sweeping tale of cavalry courage and wartime grit. It's a classic American Western with a heroic spirit, focusing on duty and sacrifice against a backdrop of conflict. Feels like a true epic.
