Plot

On a fateful day, April 14, 1865, as the curtain of the Civil War is slowly descending, America is thrown into a vortex of an unforgettable calamity - the assassination of its President. "The Day Lincoln Was Shot," adapted from Jim Bishop's seminal book, stars Lance Henriksen as the revered President Lincoln and Rob Morrow portraying the infamous assassin, John Wilkes Booth. This gripping tale unfurls the intricate plot, the chilling murder, and the relentless manhunt that forever scarred the face of America. Booth, a man consumed by his passion to vindicate the Confederacy's "noble cause," assembles a ragtag group of followers, brimming with rage and grandiose delusions of etching his name in the annals of history. On the other end of the spectrum, a worn-out Lincoln, yearning for a lasting peace, divides his time between cabinet meetings, stolen moments with his loved ones, and his haunting dreams - foretelling the demise of a President. As the ticking clock progresses, both the executioner and the victim inch ever closer to that pivotal moment at Ford's Theatre. A single gunshot rings out, piercing the silence, halting Lincoln's heartbeat, and shattering the collective soul of a nation. This cinematic retelling of "The Day Lincoln Was Shot" will leave you on the edge of your seat, as you witness a day that forever altered the course of American history.
