Gone with the Wind

DramaRomanceWar238 min

In the American South, as the Civil War tears through Georgia and Reconstruction remakes the world that follows, Scarlett O’Hara tries to hold on to love, status, and her family’s land. She fixates on Ashley Wilkes even after he marries Melanie, while hunger, loss, and the collapse of plantation life force her from flirtation into survival. As Scarlett claws for security and advantage, her path keeps crossing with Rhett Butler, a sharp-eyed opportunist who sees both her resolve and her selfishness. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable lead a story that turns a romance into a long fight over what Scarlett will sacrifice, and what she refuses to let go.
