Based on a true story, the movie chronicles the incredible journey
of a group of enslaved Africans who overtake their captor's ship
and attempt to return to their beloved homeland. When the ship,
La Amistad, is seized, these captives are brought to the United
States where they are charged with murder and await their
fate in prison. An enthralling battle ensues that captures the
attention of the entire nation, confronting the very foundation
of the American justice system. But for the men and women
on trial, it is simply a fight for the basic right of all mankind…freedom.
