Genre: Drama, Law, True Story, Suspense, Courtroom, Religion
Tagline: It's all about the monkey trial that rocked America.
Plot: This gripping adaptation of the Jerome Lawrence-Robert E. Lee play examines an issue that still causes great controversy: the role religion should play in the schools. Bertram T. Cates is arrested and put on trial for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in his classroom. The incident causes a furor in the religious southern community he lives in and Matthew Harrison Brady, a famous fundamentalist attorney, arrives to prosecute the young teacher. Luckily for Cates, the equally-acclaimed lawyer Henry Drummond agrees to defend him. As a result, the two master attorneys square off in the courtroom while the teacher's life hangs in the balance.
