The War Between

Set in April 1862 during the opening months of the American Civil War in the Arizona Territory and inspired by the historic Battle of Picacho Peak, the westernmost battle of the war, the story follows two enemy soldiers, one Union and one Confederate, who find themselves stranded in the unforgiving Sonoran Desert. Forced to rely on one another to survive while contending with thirst, memory loss, and the threat of hostile terrain, their uneasy alliance deepens when they encounter a Chiricahua Apache, further challenging their beliefs and prejudices. Blending the grit and atmosphere of a Western with the urgency of a wartime drama, the film explores themes of identity, survival, and reconciliation that resonate far beyond its historical setting.
