A gripping dramatization of the 1925 Scopes “Monkey” Trial, in which high school science teacher John T. Scopes was arrested and put on trial for teaching Charles Darwin’s “dangerous” theories of evolution in his classroom, contrary to a Tennessee state law. Inherit the Wind takes you into the courtroom as the debate between intellectual freedom and religious doctrine rages on.
