This sprawling, epic production from executive producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman (two of the men who brought you the Emmy® award winning Band of Brothers) chronicles the life and times of one of the primary shapers of American independence and government: the second President of the United States, John Adams.
While his new nation was suffering attacks from both within and without, John Adams had a vision of a nation of liberty and justice for all. He guided his peers - General George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson - in setting the values and agenda for a glorious, free America. Adams and his wife Abigail refined these ambitious
democratic ideals, and their partnership became one of the most moving love stories in American history.
Starring Academy Award® nominees Paul Giamatti (Cinderella Man) and Laura Linney (The Savages) as John and Abigail Adams, directed by Emmy® winner Tom Hooper (Elizabeth I) and adapted by Kirk Ellis and Michelle Ashford from David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize winning book, John Adams is the incredible saga of a man who dreamed a nation and watched it come true
