The film shows how Italy's historic national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi (embodied by Renzo Ricci) leads a military campaign known as Expedition of the Thousand in 1860 and conquers Sicily and Naples. When the Bourbon monarchy has left Southern Italy, he supports Victor Emmanuel II of Italy who achieves a lasting unification under the aegis the House of Savoy. Roberto Rossellini stated he was very more proud of this film than of any other film he ever made.
罗西里尼后期走向历史剧，本片算作令其得意的一部作品，加里波第率领千人远征，一路与敌人正面交锋，虽然战争场面有些笨拙，鸟枪火力微弱，千人实力参差不齐，但军队志气在，号声响，采妙计以寡敌众，助推意大利统一大业完成，英雄之歌，于历史篇幅中传唱。

罗伯托罗西里尼意大利新现实主义的带头人，他的这部加里波第给我的直观感受就是朴素平常，电影大部分都是直白的叙述红衣军进军以及南意大利的爱国人士的献身行为，作为主角的加里波第也没有好莱坞那种高光伟岸的形象，更多的给人感觉就是一个挺普通的小老头，结尾打完仗还跑到一个农夫家中歇息吃饭。而且罗西里尼虽然喜欢说教，但都是毫不遮掩的宣扬自己的想法，这点现在看来倒也坦率
飞机上打算催眠用 结果意外不是很闷
此片为罗西里尼转型之作 从最初的新现实主义电影转向圣徒/哲学家电影 中间有几个基督徒参加红杉军 对加里波第说：“别小瞧我穿的这身修道士罩袍，它比你穿的盔甲更牢靠；也别小瞧这基督像，你会看到它的光芒比你的剑更可怕” 啥意思都不言而喻了
