The film GETTYSBURG based on Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Killer Angels, has been called one of the greatest war movies of all time. Directed by Ron Maxwell, GETTYSBURG has earned fans from around the country and the world and gained a highly respected place in the pantheon of American film. Since its theatrical release in the fall of 1993, the movie GETTYSBURG has become a classic among historians, re-enactors, and anyone who appreciates serious film. GODS AND GENERALS, based on Jeff Shaara's first novel Gods and Generals, was released nation-wide by Warner Brothers in February 2003.
