Notes: Director: Sidney Lumet; The film is based on the life story of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted as spies and executed by the United States government in 1953 for giving nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union. They were both executed in the electric chair. This story follows their fictionalized son Daniel as he attempts to find out the truth.
