April 14, 1865. As four years of civiI war draw to a cIose, our country again faces unforgettable tragedy: the assassination of the President. Starring Lance Henriksen as the Great Emancipator and Rob Morrow as assassin John Wilkes Booth, this riveting re-creation of The Day Lincoln Was Shot (from Jim Bishop's Iandmark book) is a thriIling and detailed chronicle of the pIot, murder and manhunt that changed America forever. To avenge what he calIed the Confederacy's "noble cause," Booth conspires with his motley foIlowers, rages and boasts, and aspires to a pIace in history as a Great Man. The weary LincoIn, longing for a just peace, meets with his Cabinet, steals precious time with his family and dream - Iiterally - of the death of a President. Minute by minute, kiIler and victim edge cIoser to the bury of gunfire at Ford's theatre that stopped Lincoln's heart - and shattered the country's soul. |
