As the Civil War reaches its final days, Inman (Law), a wounded soldier, gets up out of what his doctors thought was his death bed, and begins the long, hard walk to his home in his North Carolina on Cold Mountain. Waiting there for him is Ada (Kidman), the sweetheart he left behind to go to war, trying to hold onto the farm of her deceased missionary father. Inman's long journey takes him through the crumbling confederacy, as he meets people of all walks of life who want to both aid and hinder his mission... (Zellweger plays Ruby, a scrappy drifter who helps Ada; Atkins plays a hermit who saves Inman from the battlefield; Walters plays the wife of Giovanni's character, who tries to seduce Inman)
