Glory - Uomini di gloria (Glory) è un film del 1989 diretto da Edward Zwick che tratta della prima unità combattente di volontari formata da afroamericani nell'esercito dell'Unione, durante la guerra di secessione americana. Il film è ispirato dalle lettere personali del colonnello Robert Gould Shaw, che guidò il 54º Reggimento Volontari di Fanteria del Massachusetts dalla sua formazione dal febbraio 1863 fino all'attacco al forte Wagner nella Carolina del Sud, dove morì durante l'assalto nel luglio dello stesso anno. Tra i riconoscimenti ricevuti, il film ha ricevuto cinque candidature agli Oscar 1990, vincendone tre come miglior attore non protagonista per Denzel Washington, miglior fotografia e miglior sonoro.
