Steven Spielberg's debut film for DreamWorks Pictures, 'AMISTAD', stars a distinguished cast led by Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Djimon Hounsou and Matthew McConaughey.
Synopsis: Stirring, fact-based epic that profiles African slaves on trial for killing their captors during an ocean crossing. Abolitionists and pro-slavery statesmen go head-to-head in the courtroom where the slaves are being tried. It's an emotionally charged and shattering look at the nation's brutal, slave-holding history.
