Im Schatten des Todes (1991)
Während des amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges wird der junge Südstaatenoffizier Carter Blair in der Schlacht bei Gettysburg schwer verletzt. In einem Lazarett des Feindes wartet er auf seinen Tod. Als sein kleiner Bruder Benjamin, wie Carter ein begeisterter Patriot, davon erfährt, schlägt er sich durch die feindlichen Linien ans Krankenbett seines Bruders durch. Zur selben Zeit hält Präsident Abraham Lincoln, der Anführer der Nordstaaten, seine berühmte Rede von Gettysburg. Durch einen Zufall holt Benjamin ausgerechnet Lincoln, den er für einen einfachen Anwalt hält, ans Sterbebett seines Bruders. Carter und Abe Lincoln stellen fest, daß sie bei ihrer Begeisterung für die amerikanische Nation mehr eint als trennt.
