"Beautifully photographed" ('Boxoffice'), this "intriguing film" ('The Hollywood Reporter') tells the powerful true tale of the Saint Patrick Battalion, a group of soldiers enlisted from Ireland to fight a brutal war between the U.S. and Mexico. Solid performances from Tom Berenger ('Platoon'), Joaquim De Almeida ('Clear and Present Danger') and Patrick Bergin ('Sleeping with the Enemy'), drive home this film's universal story about standing up for one's beliefs in the face of adversity.
Synopsis: During the Mexican-American War, a small band of Irish immigrants change allegiance to fight for Mexico.
