Buffalo Soldiers is a 2001 film, based on the 1993 novel by Robert O'Connor, which follows the rogue activities of a group of US soldiers based in West Germany during 1989 when the fall of the Berlin Wall is imminent. It stars Joaquin Phoenix, Ed Harris, Anna Paquin, Haluk Bilginer, Scott Glenn and Elizabeth McGovern and is directed by Gregor Jordan.

The world premiere was held at the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival in early September. However, being a satire of the US Military, the film's wider theatrical run was delayed by approximately two years in response to the increased patriotism and respect for the military within the United States after the September 11, 2001 attacks.http://www.reelmoviecritic.com/20035q/id2001.htm

Fact based story about the all-black US Cavalry Troop H which protected the Western territories in post Civil War times.

This documentary reveals the little-known exploits and heroism of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments of the U.S. Army, composed of colored (black) troops. These troops, nicknamed "Buffalo Soldiers" by their Indian enemies, protected settlers, fought Indians, suffered racial discrimination, and pacified a great deal of the American West after the Civil War. Veterans of these units also distinguished themselves in combat during the Spanish-American War. The film begins and ends with footage of the July 25, 1992 dedication ceremony for the Buffalo Soldier monument at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Written by yortsnave

1989. The Berlin Wall is about to fall, and the world is about to be made safe for the new world order. But outside of Stuttgart, West Germany, at Theodore Roosevelt Army Base, Specialist Ray Elwood of the 317th Supply Battalion (Joaquin Phoenix) is about to find his own cold war turn white hot. Elwood's a loveable rogue, a conscript who's managed to turn his military servitude into a blossoming network of black market deals, more out of boredom than ambition. Officially, there's his day job as battalion secretary to the inept but caring Commander Wallace Berman (Ed Harris). On the side, there's everything from selling the locals stolen Mop'N'Glo to cooking heroin for the base's ruthless head of Military Police, Sgt. Saad. When a new top sergeant (Scott Glenn) arrives, with the avowed intention of cleaning the base up, Elwood thinks the new blood is nothing he can't handle, especially after he lays eyes on the top's daughter, rebellious Robyn (Anna Paquin). But that was before he figured in the $5 million in stolen arms that just landed on his lap, Berman's jealous wife, an insane Turkish drug dealer, and, of course, the resulting lust, betrayal, and murder.
