"Cold Mountain" tells the story of a seriously wounded Confederate soldier named Inman (Law) who struggles on a perilous journey to get back home to Cold Mountain, North Carolina, as well as to Ada (Kidman), the woman he left behind before going off to fight in the Civil War. Along the way, he meets a long line of interesting and colorful characters. In his absence, Ada--with the help of a young scrappy drifter named Ruby--is desperately trying to hold onto the farm of her deceased missionary father.
At Cold Mountain, a small town in North Carolina, arrive a father and a daughter. Inman meets Ada, though they speak little. At the onset of war between the North and the South, Inman leaves for the war with the first kiss implanted on Ada's lips. The war lasts for 3 long years. The South has lost it, and the soldiers who try to return are considered traitors and are ordered to be killed by the home-guards. Inman embarks on the journey to return to Ada. Through dangerous encounters, Inman returns to Ada to be with her for only a day. The home-guards who have ruthlessly killed the families that stayed behind to claim their property, are set to die through Inman's hands. He loses his life too. Ada gives birth to a baby girl and continues to live in Cold Mountain.
This Civil War saga addresses romance, friendship, and the ravages of war--both in the field and on the home front. Captured the horrors of war for both those fighting it, and for those left behind, this is a tale of hope, longing, redemption, second chances, and faith.
