Powerful and sweeping, the critically acclaimed Cradle Will Rock, starring Hank Azaria, Joan Cusack, John Cusack, Bill Murray, and Susan Sarandon, takes a kaleidoscopic look at the extraordinary events of 1930s America. From high society to life on the streets, director Tim Robbins (Dead Man Walking) brings Depression-era New York City to vivid life. It's a time when DaVincis are given to millionaires who help fund the Mussolini war effort and Nelson Rockefeller commissions Mexican artist Diego Rivera to paint the lobby of Rockefeller Center. A time when a young Orson Welles and a troupe of passionate actors risk everything to perform the infamous musical "The Cradle Will Rock." As threats to their freedom and livelihood loom larger, they refuse to give into censorship. Based on actual events, Cradle Will Rock will move you.

When pretty Angela Crispini (Debra Winger) hires private detective Tom O'Toole (Nick Nolte) to clear a teenager of murder, the rumpled gumshoe dives into the case headfirst. But the more he learns about his client, the more he doubts her veracity -- and her sanity. Jack Warden, Judith Ivey and Frank Converse co-star in this riveting drama based on a stage play by the legendary Arthur Miller (who also penned the film script).
