Synopsis

Set in the Civil War, a Union Officer held to be a traitor talks an old army comrade into giving him the opportunity to redeem his good name and also strike a blow that will affect the course of the war, by using seven men condemned to death as his striking force in an assault on an impregnable Confederate fortress.
