While our 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.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Just great submitted by unknown on July 20, 2014, 8:32pm Paul Giamatti gives the performance of his life, and this is certainly the best I have ever seen Laura Linney. Both of the characters bring you into there life to the point where you care so much about what happens to them and their family. Historically accurate, this mini-series gives americans a better look at a great man who is almost forgotten, being sandwiched between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson for his presidency. Every 4th of July I watch some of this to remind myself how far we have come and how much we have let slip away.
