Arthur Miller's powerful play about the Salem witch hunts is brought to the screen in this epic drama starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder. The place is Salem, Massachusetts and the year is 1692. A group of teenage girls led by Abigail Williams (Ryder) are to stand trial, accused of witchcraft - Abigail has slept with a married man and has been seen chanting naked, trying to put a spell on his wife. The man, John Proctor (Day-Lewis), is ashamed of his deed and wants merely to return to a normal life with his wife Elizabeth (Joan Allen). But then Abigail suddenly turns the tables and accuses Elizabeth of being a witch - something the local townsfolk are more than willing to believe..
