The Conspirator, directed by Hollywood’s legendary golden boy Robert Redford, is the first feature film from The American Film Company, a production studio aiming to push aside the vagaries of fiction and make movies about American history that are historically accurate. The failure to change the title to the more accurate conspiratrix aside, Redford’s film, with a big-name cast made up of James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Tom Wilkinson, Kevin Kline, Evan Rachel Wood, and many more, does a fine job at factually detailing the precision behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, as well as the political injustices carried out against Mary Surratt, the only woman to be tried as part of the plot.
