Danton Plot and Cast
Once close friends who fought together in the French Revolution, Danton and Robespierre have become adversaries by 1793. Robespierre now rules France and is determined to eliminate opposition through the mass executions of the Reign of Terror. Danton, a well-known spokesman of the people, has been living in relative solitude in the French countryside but returns to Paris to challenge Robespierre's violent rule and call on the people to demand their rights. Unable to accept such a challenge, even from a friend and colleague, Robespierre sets a plan in motion to capture and execute Danton and his allies.
