Trevor is 'between jobs'. He spends his days avoiding his nagging heifer of a wife by hiding out in his allotment shed and painting figurines for his wargames with his agoraphobic friend, Graham, and dreaming of his heroic alter-ego, the battle mage Casimir the Destroyer. When Mr Parsons, one of the other allotment tenants, petitions to have Trevor removed from his disgrace of a plot (he's not there to grow stuff!) an argument ensues that leaves Trevor with a corpse to hide. Unfortunately, this untimely accident coincides with the zombie apocalypse and Mr Parsons' return is just the beginnings of Trevor's problems. More pressing is whether or not he should try and save his wife and her beautiful best friend, who both he and Graham have a thing for.
美国南北战争,白人军官罗伯特·古尔德萧(马修·布罗德里克 Matthew Broderick饰)在战斗中负伤,被一位名叫约翰·罗林斯(摩根·弗里曼 Morgan Freeman饰)的掘墓人发现送进了野战医院。在波士顿养病期间,罗伯特自愿接下了全部由黑人组成的“麻州第五十四兵团”指挥官的职务。然而面对种族歧视的严重偏见和白人同僚的冷嘲热讽,以及新兵瑞普(丹泽尔·华盛顿 Denzel Washington饰)的种种质疑,他毅然将一群从南方黑奴制度中脱逃至北方的乌合之众训练成一支纪律严明的部队。由他率领的黑人兵团“麻州第五十四兵团”,在南方的查尔斯坦战役中写下光辉的一页。然而罗伯特自己却在上战场攻坚时壮烈牺牲。 由知名奥斯卡获奖导演爱德华·兹维克执导的史诗战争影片《光荣》,根据美国南北战争中的真实事件改编而成。本片以对作战场面触目惊心地描写和对黑人受虐惨况催人泪下地刻画,赢得1990年第62届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男配角、最佳摄影、最佳音响等多项大奖。尚未成名的丹泽尔·华盛顿更凭借此片一同收获1990年第47届金球奖最佳男配角。
