John Adams

SYNOPSIS

John Adams chronicles the life of this remarkable historical figure, a man whose fiercely independent spirit, reverence for the rule of law and commitment to personal liberty profoundly influenced the values on which the U.S. was founded.
Starring Paul Giamatti in the title role and Laura Linney as Adam's devoted wife Abigail, JOHN ADAMS chronicles the extraordinary life journey of one of the primary shapers of the United States independence and government, whose legacy has often been eclipsed by more flamboyant contemporaries like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin. Set against the backdrop of a nation’s stormy birth, this sweeping miniseries is a moving love story, a gripping narrative, and a fascinating study of human nature. Above all, at a time when the nation is increasingly polarized politically, this story celebrates the shared values of liberty and freedom upon which the United States was built.
