This accurate portrayal of the Scopes Monkey trial stars Brian Dennehy (Rambo) as Clarence Darrow, John Scopes' attorney whom the ACLU eventually fired, Fred Thompson (Law & Order) as William Jennings Bryan, the widely beloved prosecutor, Colm Meaney (Star Trek) as the Baltimore Sun's H.L. Mencken, and love interests Ashley Johnson (The Help, The Avengers, and The Last of Us) and Nathan West, and the adorable Khori Faison as the step sister targeted for sterilization. What a great movie, Alleged, accurate to the history and trial transcript of the Scopes Monkey Trial, unlike Hollywood's previous Inherit the Wind attempt. Also, it presents what Hollywood and evolutionists intentionally leave out of their popular renditions, that the textbook that was being defended by the ACLU, Hunter's Civic Biology, portrayed Blacks and Jews and other racial minorities (like Khori's character) as closer to apes as compared to those of European descent. Also, the historicity of the sets, the train scenes, were all spot on!
