Synopsis
The devil made them do it. Directed by The History Boys' Nicholas Hytner from Arthur Miller's celebrated play, Daniel Day-Lewis stars in this chilling tale about the Salem witch trials where 15 sex-starved teenage girls play the blame game, and an innocent remark can lead to the gallows.

Featuring Joan Allen in her Oscar-nominated performance, the excellent cast includes Winona Ryder, Paul Scofield (in his last role), Bruce Davison and Peter Vaughan. The Crucible is more resonant than ever in a world riven by a new breed of witch-hunters.

TRIVIA:
Daniel Day-Lewis met his wife Rebecca Miller, daughter of Arthur Miller, while filming The Crucible; Arthur Miller got his inspiration for The Crucible during the Hollywood black-listings; The Crucible opened at the Martin Beck Theatre on January 22, 1953 and ran for 197 performances.
