Description:
When schoolteacher Bertram Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution to his students, the case becomes a national sensation. E.K. Hornbeck, a newspaper reporter, arranges for Henry Drummond, a famous atheist and defense attorney, to take on Cates's case. The prosecutor, Matthew Brady, is a former presidential candidate, a prominent evangelist, and Drummond's longtime rival.
