In 1898 the US government, led by Theodore Roosevelt (Berenger) back when he was still a young, ambitious Naval Secretary, intervenes on the side of the Cuban rebels in their struggle against Spanish rule. Always ready for action, Roosevelt leaves the confines of the sidelines and forms a volunteer cavalry regiment which later became infamously known as the Rough Riders. Roosevelts regiment brings together volunteers from all corners of the nation to fight against a far superior adversary in one of the most rousing victories in American history. Tells the story of Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders in the Spanish American War.
