Cold Mountain

DramaRomanceWar154 min

As the Civil War winds down, wounded Confederate soldier W.P. Inman, embodied by Jude Law, deserts his unit and starts a dangerous trek back to Cold Mountain, North Carolina, and the woman he loves. Back home, Nicole Kidman’s Ada is trying to hold onto her family farm with little idea how to manage it, until Renée Zellweger’s Ruby arrives with practical skill and a blunt, unsentimental streak. Anthony Minghella splits the story between Inman’s passage through a battered South and Ada’s struggle to keep her home intact while war closes in from every side.
