Amistad is the 1997 historical slavery epic directed by master filmmaker Steven Spielberg (Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark) and based on the true story of bravery in the face of unspeakable hardship. A Spanish slave ship is captured off the coast of New England, carrying a group of slaves who, led by the stoic Cinque (Djimon Hounsou, Deep Rising, Gladiator), revolted against their captors and took over piloting of the ship, hoping to somehow return to their African homeland. Several parties are claiming that the slaves are their 'property' and are doing any and everything they can to obtain ownership of them, but it is ne'er do well livestock case attorney Roger Baldwin (Matthew McConaughey, Contact, Dazed and Confused, A Time to Kill), working for abolitionists Theodore Joadson (Morgan Freeman, Seven) and Tappan (Stellan Skarsgaard, Deep Blue Sea), who believes he holds the key to proving the Africans are in fact illegally acquired slaves who deserve their shot at freedom.moreless
