Amistad DVD (1997) | Djimon Hounsou & Anthony Hopkins | Morgan Freeman & Matthew McConaughey | True Story | Dir. Steven Spielberg | John Williams Score | 15 Cert | New & Sealed

In 1839, 53 West African men seized control of the slave ship La Amistad. What followed changed American history. Djimon Hounsou and Anthony Hopkins star in Amistad (1997) on DVD. Directed by Steven Spielberg and scored by John Williams, the film tells the true story of Sengbe Pieh (Hounsou) — the West African man who leads a mutiny aboard the slave ship La Amistad in 1839 — and the extraordinary legal battle that followed, stretching from the district courts of Connecticut all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Anthony Hopkins plays former President John Quincy Adams, who comes out of retirement to argue the case — his final courtroom speech is one of the great monologues of 1990s cinema. Also starring Matthew McConaughey as the young abolitionist lawyer Roger Baldwin and Morgan Freeman as abolitionist Theodore Joadson. Nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Supporting Actor for Djimon Hounsou. 148 minutes. 15 cert.
