Army of Frankensteins

In a world where the thin veil between past and future suddenly tears, a disenchanted grocery‑store employee finds his ordinary life shattered by an unexpected jump through time. Alan awakens in the tumultuous spring of 1865, a period already fraught with division and bloodshed, only to discover that the battlefield he stumbles into is far stranger than any history textbook could have prepared him for. The air hums with the clash of musket fire and the uncanny roar of reanimated giants—an army of Frankensteins that looms over the war‑torn landscape like a nightmarish tide.

The film blends the gritty realism of the American Civil War with the off‑beat humor and grotesque wonder of creature‑feature folklore. Its tone shifts seamlessly from tense, smoky campfires to absurd, almost slapstick moments where science runs amok. The atmosphere is saturated with sepia‑toned dust, thunderous artillery, and the flicker of lightning that seems to bring the impossible to life, inviting the audience to question what really powered the era’s most brutal confrontations.

At the heart of this chaotic tableau stands Alan, a reluctant hero whose modern skepticism collides with the raw, earnest ideals of a bygone era. He is quickly joined by an eccentric child prodigy named Igor, whose inventive mind hints at both salvation and further mayhem, and Dr. Tanner Finski, a desperate scientist whose experiments have birthed the very monsters now roaming the fields. Alongside them walks Solomon Jones, a weathered soldier whose lineage ties the present to the past, and Virginia, a steadfast medic whose compassion bridges the chasm between humanity and the unnerving creations they face.

Together, this unlikely fellowship must navigate the paradoxes of their new reality, confronting not only the moral complexities of a nation at war but also the bewildering presence of the Frankensteins themselves. The story promises a blend of historical intrigue, speculative science, and darkly comic spectacle, leaving viewers to wonder how far the fragile threads of destiny can stretch when the past and the impossible collide.
