The Conspirator

In the wake of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with
conspiring to kill the President, Vice-President, and 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. 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.

Redford's "The Conspirator" going to Toronto

The head of the Sundance Film Festival will try out North America's other big film festival: Toronto.

Robert Redford's latest directorial effort, the post-Civil War drama "The Conspirator," has been named as one of the 290 films to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

The event is North America's largest film festival, and a springboard for many an Oscar campaign. Last year, Toronto served as a launching pad for "Up in the Air," "Precious" and "A Serious Man," among other films.

"The Conspirator" stars Robin Wright Penn as Mary Seuratt, who ran the boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and his co-conspirators plotted the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Seuratt was tried as a conspirator, too -- and the movie depicts the courtroom drama, focusing on a Union Army hero (James McAvoy) who's assigned to defend her.
