I had a hard time trying to find this movie to watch. I finally found a very horrible version uploaded to YouTube. This version is missing the first part and I think a few parts in the middle. It's hard to tell why this is missing from Disney+, when there are things that are far more problematic on it. I think it's because this movie has never been very popular, at least in comparison to other Disney films. I'm sure there are problematic moments, but generally the story is quite a fascinating one. It's about a group of union Soldiers who steal a train during the Civil War and use it to destroy tracts and sabotage the Confederate war effort before ultimately being captured. It's based on a true story. One thing I think a more modern version of the story should stay away from is the idea of the lost cause. The characters in the movie talk a lot about their ideals, but one thing is missing from the conversation, slavery. Which is strange because there are scenes in which slaves are actually seen. The only nod to a slight difference of opinion between the two groups, that is, the Northerners and the southerners, is one scene where a northerner steals something from a Slave and then thinks about it runs back and gives the slave some money. I won't recommend it unless you can find a better version, but I think it definitely would be a story that could be made into an exciting and interesting movie.
