John Adams DVD Summary
Emmy Award-winning director
Tom Hopper
takes the helm for this epic, seven-part
miniseries
produced by
Playtone
's
Tom Hanks
and
Gary Goetzman
, and presenting American history as seen from the perspective of fiercely independent founding father
John Adams
(
Paul Giamatti
).
Based on author
David McCullough
's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, the film tells the tale of a leader whose remarkable vision helped to guide a burgeoning republic through an especially tumultuous period.
Thanks to the tireless support of his loving wife Abigail (
Laura Linney
), and lifelong friendship with political rivalry
Thomas Jefferson
(
Stephen Dillane
),
John Adams
rose to prominence as the spokesman for the American independence movement before moving on to become America's first ambassador to Holland and England, the first American Vice President, the second American President, and the father of the sixth American President.
As with
McCullough
's best-selling biography, the film draws on a comprehensive collection of letters, diaries, and family papers in order to create the most accurate representation of
Adams
' life and achievements ever captured on film.
