Class of 61 tells the story of a group of friends who are cadets at West Point at the outbreak of the civil war. While the story starts slow and lets us get to know about these folks as people and as friends, it ends abruptly at the Battle of Manassas.
Not surprising really in that it was meant as the pilot for a TV series dealing with the civil war.
As a movie it really doesn't stand alone all that well. Just as you get to know and care about the characters the film is over.
