Ride with the Devil (original title English :  Ride with the Devil ) is an American film drama about the American Civil War , made in 1999 by Ang Lee , based on the novel byDaniel Woodrell .

Synopsis

During the Civil War, pro-Southern fighters operating as isolated commandos, the Bushwhackers , engage in guerrilla warfare on the side roads. Along the border between Kansas and Missouri, Jake Roedel, son of a poor German immigrant, and his childhood friend Jack Bull Chiles, son of a planter, join the ranks of this band of out-of-the-country law that scour the region. Together, they learn very quickly to become experienced men-at-arms and accomplished horsemen. They attack in raids the soldiers of the Union Union and their sympathizers. To face the harsh winter ahead, the Bushwhackersmust disperse and find shelter. Several members find refuge in a trench on a hillside. But the reality of the war catches them and shatters the small group.
