Film Synopsis
New York, 1920. Two Italians, shoemaker Nicolas Sacco and
anarchist fishmonger Bartolomeo Vanzetti, are arrested and charged with
the murder of two men during a hold-up. Their lawyer, Fred Moore,
is able to prove their innocence, but the prosecutor and the judge
concoct a challenge that is based on racism and anti-Bolshevik
paranoia. The jury finds the two men guilty and they are
sentenced to death.
