"April Morning" (1988) - Excellent Battle of Lexington 1775 TV Movie
On the morning of April 19, 1775, the American Revolution began with the "shot heard 'round the world".
An excellent portrayal of the event that sparked the American Revolution from an idea to a shooting war - a 1988 adaptation of the classic novel by Howard Feast which takes place at the dawn of the America ideals for Liberty. Superstitious teenager Adam Cooper (Chad Lowe) struggles to gain the approval of his intellectual and devout Christian father, Moses (Tommy Lee Jones). When a lone rider warns the locals of approaching British troops, Adam surprises his father by joining the local militia. But Adam will have to come of age rapidly amid violence and death to survive the Battles of Lexington and Concord.Sunday, 16 April 2023
