LINCOLN
Daniel Day-Lewis stars as the president in this critically acclaimed movie about Lincoln’s fight with Congress during the Civil War to outlaw slavery forever. The film was directed by Steven Spielberg.
The film focuses on the last four months of the president’s life and the political strategizing he had to undertake at the close of the Civil War to ram the Emancipation Proclamation through a divided Congress. The film is based on the bestselling book “A Team of Rivals.”
Spielberg said “Our movie is really about a working leader who must make tough decisions and get things done in the face of overwhelming opposition.”
The film also stars Sally Fields, Tommy Lee Jones, Hal Holbrook, James Spader and David Strathairn .
“Lincoln” is held over. 150 minutes. It is rated PG-13 for an intense scene of war violence, some images of carnage and brief strong language.

Walt Disney and Pixar have re-rendered this favorite animated hit into 3D for this re-release.
