The real-life story of Teddy Roosevelt's role in the
Spanish-American war is re-told in this made-for-
television movie. Tom Berenger stars as Roosevelt,
who in 1898 formed his own volunteer calvary to go
into Cuba and fight the expansion of Spanish rule.
Thousands of men from all walks of life volunteered,
but Roosevelt honed the team down to over 500
fighting men. When they finally arrived in Cuba, they
faced a well-equipped Spanish army and squared off
in the famous Battle of San Juan Hill.
