Cold Mountain
Human suffering groans to life in Cold Mountain, an historical drama set during the Civil War. The story begins with the innocent romance of Inman (Jude Law) and Ada (Nicole Kidman) who must separate when Inman joins his childhood friends to fight for the South. They promise to remain true to one another. Inman’s company wins distinction for bravery in accepting dangerous assignments, but the battles grow bloody and the cruel casualties mount until Inman nearly dies in a hazardous mission. While recovering in the army hospital, he receives a letter from Ada. With her farm in ruins and her food supply nearly diminished, she pleads for him to return. Barely able to walk, Inman limps toward home. The Southern army labels him a deserter meaning anyone can shoot him on sight, but his concern for Ada drives him on. His journey reveals the wounds of war on the country. Meanwhile, Ada obtains aid from a spunky mountain girl, Ruby (Renee Zellweger).
