Storyline
When North Carolina secedes from the Union on May 20, 1861, the young men of Cold Mountain enlist in the Confederate States Army. Their courtship is interrupted by the war, but they share their first kiss the day Inman leaves for the army. Three years later, Inman fights in the Battle of the Crater and survives; he then comforts a dying acquaintance from Cold Mountain, while fellow soldier Stobrod Thewes plays a tune on his fiddle.

“In a movie, you need good actors, whereas in a book, you don't, unless you have a really bad imagination.”
