Pharaoh's Army (1995)

Set amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the American Civil War, 'Pharaoh's Army' plunges into the depths of a private conflict, far removed from the bustling battlefields and marching armies. Here, along a fog-shrouded creek, a Union Army captain and his motley cavalry troop venture into the heart of enemy territory. Their mission? To commandeer livestock from a secluded farm, worked by the steadfast Sarah Anders, whose husband is away, battling for the Confederate cause. But the war, in its relentless pull, draws the Captain and Sarah into a vortex of choices, too powerful to resist and too complex to comprehend. As the narrative weaves through this intimate drama, each character is forced to confront a haunting question: will their loyalty be sealed in blood? 'Pharaoh's Army' paints a vivid picture of the human cost of war, demonstrating how escalating tensions can ignite unexpected tragedy. It delves into the psyche of conflict, reminding us that armies are not composed of cold-blooded killers but ordinary people, capable of being pushed to extraordinary lengths. Based on a heartrending true story, this poignant tale of a southern child who fatally shot a union soldier during the Civil War resonates with contemporary partisan struggles.
