Synopsis
It is 1814 and the United States is two years into fighting its second War of Independence from Great Britain.The British land forces have burned Washington, D.C. and have plans to take Baltimore with assistance from the British Royal Navy in the Chesapeake Bay. The only thing that stands in their way is what they consider to be an "insignificant obstacle", Fort McHenry at the mouth of the Baltimore harbor. Other coastal cities have capitulated, but Baltimore remains steadfast and defiant. Their famous "clipper ships" have harassed British merchant ships and the senior British Admiral calls Baltimore a "nest of pirates". As the British land forces begin their march to Baltimore, the British fleet mercilessly begins their bombardment of Fort McHenry. A Baltimore lawyer is trying to negotiate the release of a prominent physician aboard a truce ship and witnesses the spectacle. It's during this Battle of Baltimore that the Star Spangled Banner is born.
