What it’s about. Amerika, zur Zeit des Bürgerkriegs. Robert G. Shaw, ein junger und unerfahrener Harvard-Absolvent, tritt in die Armee ein. Doch die Order läßt Shaw erstarren: Er soll eine Truppe ganz besonderer Art befehligen - ein Regiment, das nur aus Farbigen besteht. Vergleichbares hat es bislang noch nicht gegeben, und so müssen sich Shaw und seine Mannen nicht nur des gut gerüsteten Feindes erwehren, sondern zudem gegen tief verwurzelte Vorurteile und unsinnige Konventionen kämpfen. Ein Bewährungsprobe folgt der anderen.
