Hart's War
The production for Hart's War started on January 25th, 2001 and wrapped up on May 10th 2001. Five major characters in this movie were Lt. Tommy Hart, Col. William McNamara, Lt.

Werner Visser, the camp commander who gives everyone their orders. The first impression of Visser is that he is stern and wants to be in total control of all things in the camp. We later learn that he enjoys being deceptive while playing mind games on the soldiers.
