On December 15, 1989, Glory, directed by Edward Zwick, premiered in limited theaters. The film, set during the American Civil War, tells the true story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first all-black units in the U.S. Army. Starring Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes, and Morgan Freeman, Glory explores themes of honor, bravery, and racial inequality.

Denzel Washington’s powerful performance earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and the film also won Oscars for Best Cinematography and Best Sound. Despite a modest box office performance, grossing $27 million against an $18 million budget, Glory is now regarded as a critical and historical classic.
