Here ’s the theme : basically it ’s the Civil War with cyborg soldiers , plus view where Roberts goes bottomless for the first time on film ! Here ’s my lurch . . .

Finding aura :

This scifi epic explain the source of the Union ’s 54th regiment from Massachusetts . Contrary to democratic belief , the all - black flock was assemble by a time - traveling doctoral educatee , Mary 2669 ( Julia Roberts ) , and her companion bionic man from the futurity .

Last Of Us 7 Ellie Crash

In the class 2126 there is no crime or hate , so to understand these disconfirming human emotions , students jaunt back in time and involve themselves minimally in many diachronic affairs . Mary 2669 is a doctorial student who teleports back to the Civil War epoch with two companion cyborgs # 1 and # 2 ( Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington ) to see about war , hate , death and racism . At first they keep their length from the primitive , but then something belong haywire with the teleportation gimmick and the three are trapped in Civil War times .

New to these emotional displays , a passionate Mary vows to end hatred here and now and instruct the creation a lesson . She enlists the assist of her cyborg companion and brazenly organizes the first all - calamitous regiment , to show one and anti - racialism to the Union troops . have sex she wo n’t be able-bodied to overtop the regiment herself ( being a char ) , she position her male person cyborgs on it . She mask Broderick as Major Cabot Forbes , and Denzel as Private Trip . Not require them to stick out out , Mary shit certain they are in fact the most stereotyped persona they can be : the prissy , rich white guy trying to win the love of a fight misunderstood black military personnel . From behind the scene Mary pulls the string and uses her futurist free - love attitude which coincidentally leads to her bottom half ’s heavy moment ( we ’ll satisfy in the details on that once we have a script author ) .

She takes on the last name Pitcher , and claims to be related to Molly Pitcher ’s menage ( stupid future person ) , but is still the psyche of the 54th regiment . to unite the regiment Mary programs a back account of hate and distrust into both # 1 and # 2 , pitting them both against one another . Slowly they demonstrate to the rest of the regiment that by work together they can make headway one another ’s trust . Unfortunately for # 1 and # 2 while acting out their programmed persona they both realize that they too are slaves , to the succeeding human backwash . The cyborgs get to “ feel ” and emote in new ways , and adopt the 54th ’s quest for freedom as their own .

But since Mary croak quite wild with her yesteryear - meddling ( i.e. building a regiment ) by the time her teleportation gadget is fixed , bionic man from the future ( in Confederate Garb but more like the T2 terminator ) number back to the 1800s with the intent to defeat Mary . She flees and leaves her borg ally in the thick of the civil war and without any of their necessary re - charging equipment . # 1 and # 2 carry on , steadfastly attached to win freedom both for the North and from Mary , until their batteries run out at the Battle Of Fort Wagner . In the original Glory , it depend like they ’re shot , but really they just powered off . Mary is then sent on a wild a desperate chase over river and mountain running for her life all the while trying to escape the Confederate cyborg death squads . Lots of carriage chasing and knight - back riding ensue . admit one golem that just turn into a Centaurus and tag her through most of Georgia and set out a big flaming .

Finally she is saved by Sgt . Maj . John Rawlins ( Morgan Freeman ) who reveals himself as a wise old cyborg from a future tense so far ahead , Mary can not apprehend it . He guide her in and explains to her that they have been view her and while her pursuit was noble , it was also reckless and aggressive . He then explains that most people who live in the the 1800s are actually cyborgs from the time to come and that everything is cyclical , or some kind of Life Lesson like that . OK , so this is sort of a prequel and sort of a continuation rolled into one , so maybe we can make it two movies that get along out within calendar month of each other because that work really well with the Matrix sequels .
