First Look At THE CONSPIRATOR Trailer From Robert Redford

Here’s a first look at the trailer for director Robert Redford’s THE CONSPIRATOR. The film had it’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2010.

That’s quite the cast…definitely eager to see this one!

Synopsis:

In the wake of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with conspiring to kill the President, the Vice-President, and the Secretary of State. The lone woman charged, Mary Surratt, 42, owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks.

Against the ominous back-drop of post-Civil War Washington, newly-minted lawyer, Frederick Aiken, a 28-year-old Union war-hero, reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal. As the trial unfolds, Aiken realizes his client may be innocent and that she is being used as bait and hostage in order to capture the only conspirator to have escaped a massive manhunt, her own son.

A suspenseful thriller with action throughout, The Conspirator tells the true story of a woman who would do anything to protect her family and the man who risked everything to save her.

Starring Robin Wright, James McAvoy, Tom Wilkinson, Evan Rachel Wood, Danny Huston and Kevin Kline, THE CONSPIRATOR will be in theaters on April 15, 2011.
