About this movie

Directed by Spike Lee, MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA follows four members of the U.S. Army's all-black 92nd Infantry Division, the Buffalo Soldiers, that are trapped behind enemy lines after one of them risks his life to save a traumatized Italian boy. Separated from their unit, they find themselves in a remote Tuscan village where they experience the tragedy and the triumph of war. Based on the highly praised novel by James McBride, and filled with exceptional battle scenes and action, it's a gripping and inspiring story that will touch the goodness within us all and never let go.

Ratings and reviews

This was one of the worst movie about the buffalo soldiers that was very inaccurate and although the raciseisum was their at the time but not nearly like that Spike Lee should not be able to show history in this way Hitler and would be in the same category

wish I could rate it lower. terribly written, awful acting, historically inaccurate, incredibly racist, offensive to African American veterans. watch only for the lolz

A wartime film from a different perspective... I'm glad that we can see an example on the screen that Black Americans did have a significant contribution to the war effort despite rampant racism and sometimes being relegated to support assignments.
