Plot: “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.”
Movie Cast: – Robin Wright Penn as Mary Surratt: the only woman among the group charged with killing the president. – James McAvoy as Fredrick Aiken: an idealistic young war hero who reluctantly defends Surratt and in the process comes to believe she is innocent. – Justin Long as Aiken’s best friend, a one-armed Civil War veteran. – Evan Rachel Wood as Anna Surratt: Mary Surratt’s daughter – Toby Kebbell as John Wilkes Booth – Tom Wilkinson as Reverdy Johnson: the former attorney general who as U.S. Senator is the mentor to Aiken – Alexis Bledel as Catherine Morgan: Aiken’s wife – Kevin Kline as Edwin Stanton: Lincoln’s Secretary of War
Here’s a picture of the real Mary Surrat, the woman “who kept the nest that hatched the egg” (said President Andrew Johnson):
Mary Surratt was the only female co-conspirator in the Abraham Lincoln assassination and was the first woman to be hanged by the United States federal government… Not exactly a feat to be proud of… But still it gives some interesting material for a movie indeed!
Hope to get a picture of Robin Wright Penn as Mary Surrat in The Conspirator soon! :)
