Excellent movie. I think of it often. Just the other day...

---

In the Minuteman Museum, they have a wall with a map of the entire Boston-Concord area, and it has colored lights that light up to show the various parties on that day, the red lights showing the British coming out of Boston, and as they advanced past Lexington and the first shots on the Lexington Common, columns of white lights from every surrounding town began converging on the British column as it began its retreat from Concord.

There is a moving timeline at the bottom showing the time of day.

Eventually, as I watched, it made me think of the American troops in Somalia trying to fight their way out of the heart of the city. Armed people streaming from every point of the compass (as described in the book “Blackhawk Down”)
