Star-Spangled Banner: Anthem of Liberty

Born from the blood of patriots, penned by a poet prisoner-of-war, punctuated by cannon balls and the rockets' red glare, the Star Spangled Banner is the inseparable cord that binds United States citizens to the dream of liberty. The beloved music and lyrics are woven into the fabric of America.

All that stood between the world's youngest democracy and disaster was a small, poorly armed fort, a handful of determined Americans, and a flag that would forever stand as a symbol of freedom.

This motion picture depicts the perilous fight pitting democracy against monarchy, a burgeoning nation against a tyrannical empire. By the dawn's early light, a victor was revealed -- and a young nation became defined in song.
