Robert Redford is not only a fantastic actor, appearing in movies such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Out of Africa, All the President's Men, The Great Gatsby, The Way we Were, and Jeremiah Johnson, he's been a fantastic director, bringing us Lions for Lambs, A River Runs Through It, The Horse Whisperer, and The Legend of Bagger Vance. Now, he brings us The Conspirator, the story of Mary Surratt, the mother of one of the conspirators in the famous murder trial of President Abraham Lincoln. She is being accused of aiding and abetting her son, and history shows that she was hanged for her involvement in the case. Redford brings this story to life, a story very few people are aware, and no one knows the truth. Was Mary Surratt innocent? Was she guilty? Only God knows. But a jury of 12 men believed she was guilty and and judged her what they thought was accordingly. Now you decide whether or not she was innocent.
