‘The Conspirator’ is the first of hopefully many historically accurate films from the newly founded American Film Company. Directed by Robert Redford, and starring James McAvoy and Robin Wright, the film chronicles the trial of the conspirators that were behind the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
