The film explores his relationships with family, colleagues, and his country, as well as the challenges he faced in leading a nation at war. The film opens with a young John, working in Missouri. As the US enters WWI, Pershing is appointed as the commander of the US Forces in Europe. He faces resistance from his British and French counterparts, who believe that the USA is not ready for battle. He is determined to prove them wrong and leads troops into war. The film's middle act focuses on Pershing's experiences during WW1. We see him lead his troops through the trenches of France and deals with the challenges of coordinating a multinational force.
