Movie Story

"Miracle at St. Anna" chronicles the story of four black American soldiers who are members of the US Army as part of the all-black 92nd "Buffalo Soldier" Division stationed in Tuscany, Italy during World War II.

They experience the tragedy and triumph of the war as they find themselves trapped behind enemy lines and separated from their unit after one of them risks his life to save an Italian boy.

Directed by Spike Lee from a screenplay written by James McBride, the author of the acclaimed novel of the same name, the film explores a deeply inspiring, powerful story drawn from true history, that transcends national boundaries, race, and class to touch the goodness within us all.

Reader's Reviews

I've read numerous reviews for this film and have to ask myself, "What film did these guys see?". I've seen it twice and both times was deeply moved by the characters, the story and the music. There wasn't a dry eye in the house on both occasions. Both men and women are crying at the end of this movie. The forst time I saw it, you could hear the audience cry as the movie trudged toward the finale. In a dismal year for film (with Iron Man) being the exception, it was wonderful to see a movie where people actually cared about and liked the characters in the movie. I hope Spike Lee and Terence Blanchard get awards for this wonderful movie.
