The Trial of the Chicago 7
Overview
Aaron Sorkin turns the infamous 1968 trial of anti-war protesters into a crackling courtroom drama — all verbal sparring, moral stakes, and powerhouse ensemble acting. Sacha Baron Cohen steals scenes, the dialogue snaps, and the parallels to today hit hard. Even if courtroom dramas aren't usually your thing, Sorkin's writing makes this one fly by.
