Jake Roedel and Jack Bull Chiles are friends in Missouri when the Civil War starts. Women and Blacks have few rights. Jack Bull's dad is killed by Union soldiers| so
the young men join the Bushwhackers| irregulars loyal to the South. One is a Black man| Daniel Holt| beholden to the man who bought his freedom. They skirmish then
spend long hours hiding. Sue Lee| a young widow| brings them food. She and Jack Bull become lovers| and when he's grievously wounded| Jake escorts her south to a
safe farm. The Bushwhackers| led by men set on revenge| make a raid into Kansas. At nineteen| Jake is ill at ease with war. As his friends die one after another| he
must decide where honor lies.
A well-acted, eccentric Civil War film, Ang Lee's Ride With the Devil is often more visually striking than it is emotionally engaging.
