Miracle at St. Anna is a 2008 war drama from director Spike Lee. While investigating a shooting by a postal clerk, NYPD Detective Tony Ricci (John Turturro) finds an antique Italian marble head that has been missing since World War II. The clerk, Hector Negron (Laz Alonso), suddenly shot a customer for seemingly no reason but the artwork gives a clue. The story then shifts to Tuscany, Italy, to four Buffalo soldiers, the African-American unit during the war: Staff Sergeant Aubrey Stamps (Derek Luke), Sergeant Bishop Cummings (Michael Ealy), Private Sam Train (Omar Benson Miller) and Negron, then a young Corporal. In spite of enemy fire, they reach Colognora, a small village, with Angelo (Matteo Sciabordi), a shell-shocked young Italian boy. They receive orders to capture a German for military intelligence with the help of the villagers. Over the course of the night, the answer to Negron's shooting at the post office will be answeredmoreless
