Plot Summary
A shipload of African slaves, led by Joseph Cinqué (Djimon Hounsou), stage a violent revolt against their captors. The few remaining crew members agree to take the slaves home to Africa, but instead sail the ship into the northern United States, where the slaves are imprisoned. Legal battles ensue as the courts argue whether the Africans have a right to return home as free men or must remain as slaves. Former president John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins) argues for the slaves' release in the Supreme Court trial. -
