Gettysburg

When you see the names of directors Ridley Scott and Tony Scott as producers at the start of this History Channel special about the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil, you have a pretty good idea that what you are going to get — an intensity level cranked up to 11. The show starts out with a bang and never lets up. You’ll be so wrapped up in the action (it’s not too many history shows on TV where the blood splatters into the camera lens) that you may not even realize how much you are learning about the war and the people who fought it. This is one TV show that deserved to be seen up on the big screen.
