Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Left without men in the dying days of the American Civil War, three Southern women—two sisters and one African-American slave—must fight to defend their home and themselves from two rogue soldiers who have broken off from the fast-approaching Union Army.

Cast

Production

The film was first announced in October 2012.[10] Hart's script was inspired by her learning that her friends had two skeletons dating from the civil war in their backyards and wondering how they got there.[11] Initially the film was to star Olivia Wilde[7] although she later left with Brit Marling replacing her.[6] Sam Worthington rounded out the cast in April 2013.[8]

Filming

Principal photography began in June 2013 in Bucharest, Romania, and ended on July 18, 2013.[12]
