What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A movie about the horrors, rigors and racism of men crossing the North Pole. The basically unknown story of Matthew Henson who has almost been forgotten from history as the co-discoverer of the North Pole simply because of his race. I think it's about time that history starts being reported for what it really is and not what a biased society of the times wants to perceive it. Delroy Lindo gives an excellent portrayal of Matthew Henson who's ability to co-habitat and communicate with the natives allows he and Perry to reach what was once unreachable. Our nation has great discovers and inventors who should not simply be forgotten because they were of a different race. The struggle and anonymity Matthew Henson endured after his trek should never have happened. This movie does a very good job in reminding us that we are a nation of adventurers.. Black and White.

While the TNT originals are not always the greatest films ever made for TV they do have some of the better stories for made for TV films. Glory & Honor essentially about Robert Pearys black assistant Mathew Henson is such a movie. Henson who was as important a figure as Peary in the quest for the North Pole was for years ignored for his accomplishments, dedication and hard work. This film pays honor to Henson and rightfully so.

This film pays tribute to Mathew Henson which is at last recognized along with Robert Peary as the first two explorers to reach North Pole. Henson's contribution was recognized in 1988 by the National Geographic Society. His skin color (black), prevented his name to appear side-by-side to Peary's for a long time...

Glory and Honor is a watchable movie without actually being very memorable. It is a story about the relationship between an American explorer and his Black partner/servant and their battles to reach the North pole.Dont expect too much from this film apart from an average film. ( the frost bite scene with the toes is horrible so be warned!.) 6 out of 10
