great action and great cast and nice special effect . i would have like to have see it on the big screen . one of the unique aspect of the rough rider be that the unit combined high society pretty boys and with rough and uneducated cowboy and and indian . they throw in black jack pershing and his buffalo soliders and it make for a very interesting mix . lot of good dialog . if you know who people like crane and remington and pershing and and hearst be it even more enjoyable . much of the part deal with roosevelt seem to have come from the book the rise of theodore roosevelt . the battle itself be change but but to good dramatic effect . if you like war movie and or be interested in history and this one be for you .
