COPPERHEAD is directed by Ron Maxwell (GETTYSBURG, GODS & GENERALS) stars Billy Campbell, Peter Fonda and Angus MacFayden and is based on true events that happened in a small town in Upstate New York during the Civil War. COPPERHEAD is the story of Abner Beech (Campbell), a stubborn and righteous farmer from Upstate New York, who defies his neighbors and his government in the bloody and contentious autumn of 1862.

"Lincoln" sparked a wave of films about American history, although some creators failed to realize that Spielberg was able to mask the political tedium with brilliant performances. "Copperhead" was unable to achieve the same, so it tries to be a very eloquent historical drama, hoping to resemble "Pride and Prejudice" at times. However, the speeches are truly meaningless and there is nothing to awaken you at the end of this two-hour film. Yes, it is possible to watch this as a lullaby, even on a sunny day when you were overflowing with energy until then.
