Based on David McCullough's bestselling biography, the HBO miniseries John Adams is the furthest thing from a starry-eyed look at America's founding fathers and the brutal path to independence.

None of your personal details will be passed on to any other third party.
2008 TV mini-series portraying the lives of John Adams (Paul Giamatti), the first Vice President and second President of the United States and his wife Abigail (Laura Kinney). Set during and after the American Revolution, the programme concentrates more on the personal, human stories of the major players in the revolt against Britain rather than on the action of the war itself. A strong supporting cast plays such immortal names as George Washington (David Morse), Thomas Jefferson (Stephen Dillane) and Benjamin Franklin (Tom Wilkinson).
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play. Starring Paul Giamatti (Sideways, Cinderella Man, HBO's American Splendor) in the title role and Laura Linney (You Can Count On Me, Kinsey) as Adams' devoted wife Abigail, John Adams chronicles the extraordinary life journey of one of the primary shapers of our independence and government, whose legacy has often been eclipsed by more flamboyant contemporaries like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin. Set against the backdrop of a nation's stormy birth, this sweeping miniseries is a moving love story, a gripping narrative, and a fascinating study of human nature. Above all, at a time when the nation is increasingly polarised politically, this story celebrates the shared values of liberty and freedom upon which this country was built.
