Ricostruzione di uno di quegli episodi storici di cui i libri non parlano: nel 1839, 53 schiavi neri del vascello spagnolo "Amistad", in viaggio verso Cuba, riescono a liberarsi e fanno rotta verso l'Africa, ma sono bloccati da una nave americana e mandati sotto processo per pirateria e l'assassinio dell'equipaggio. Parte come un film d'avventure e diventa un dramma giudiziario: si scopre che i rivoltosi non sono nati schiavi e quindi, secondo la Costituzione degli Stati Uniti, avevano il diritto di lottare per la loro libertà (abolita nel Regno Unito nel 1772, la schiavitù esisteva ancora nel Nordamerica).

    Excellent movie. Steven Spielberg really captured the essence of that horrific time and the barbarity of the slave trade. Watching this movie in 2025 also shows how much we have now forgotten of that time and how it’s been reinvented through the modern lens.

    A little white savior-y at the end, but still… an amazing movie.

    I was pleasantly surprised. This is definitely an underrated movie. I don't consider movies hard to watch, but there's a portion of this movie that is just absolutely brutal. The pacing was questionable, and they really leaned into that 2nd act climax, but overall I think it was worth it to go the extra ~45 minutes for the stellar John Quincy Adams monologue. This film is actually fairly accurate as well. I'm not sure a lot of the other reviewers know what they're talking about. Obviously it was dramatized for movie purposes, but the story beats were actually spot on for the most part.

    Excellent movie, great dialog, and acting was first rate. Time lines may have been off a bit on a few things in ACTUAL history, but was a great movie either way.

    As any true American will tell you, it is the independence of our courts that keep us free. I don’t think I had seen this since it first came out, so I didn’t remember much about it other than “Give us us Free!” Had totally forgotten that McConaughey was even in it, as a lawyer no less. Compelling drama, and star-making performance from Djimon Hounsou. For a film with an important historical account, I thought it was kind of funny that one of the final shots was a young Anna Paquin jumping on a bed (as Isabella II, the Queen of Spain).
