Gene: War

The teenage cadets were summoned to augment the dwindling the Southern army, here led by former U.S. Vice President John C. Breckinridge (Jason Isaacs). Among their ranks were John Wise (Luke Enward), the son of Governor Henry A. Wise (John Rixey Moore), here incongruously depicted as being anti-slavery and anti-secession, and Moses Ezekiel (Josh Zuckerman), VMI’s first Jewish cadet who went on to become a celebrated sculptor.The cliche-ridden storyline features such war film staples as a doomed love story, with cadet Sam (Max Lloyd-Jones) becoming hopelessly smitten with a local girl (Mary Mouser) whose mother (Lauren Holly), when asked if a wounded soldier is her son, replies, They′re all my sons.
