Storyline:

Captured Union soldiers cope with life inside the Civil War's most notorious prisoner-of-war camp. The ambitious miniseries adaptation of MacKinley Kantor's eponymous novel about the inmates of the notoriously overcrowded and brutal Andersonville, Georgia Confederate army prison at the height of the Civil War. Winner of an Emmy for director John Frankenheimer.

John Frankenheimer pain stakingly chronicles prisoners of war struggling to survive in an ill run Confederate prison camp during the Civil War. New prisoners are savagely introduced to the pecking order in this small pit of hell. Strong images support the story line for this well written and produced epic. Featured cast members in this trial of humanity are Frederic Forrest, William Sanderson, Jarrod Emick, Jayce Bartok, Cliff De Young, Justin Henry and William H. Macy. It is hard to find fault in this glimpse of the notorious place called Andersonville.

Casting director Marsha Kleinman died during production.

At some point during production of ANDERSONVILLE, several reels of film were lost on the way from location in Georgia, to printing in California. Director John Frankenheimer had to reshoot the lost footage, which was about 40% of the trial sequence, in a new location in North Carolina, rebuilding parts of the original set to the last detail in order to match the coinciding Georgia scenes.
