Synopsis
En 1839, "La Amistad", navire espagnol transportant des esclaves africains, est pris dans une violente tempête au large de Cuba. Une cinquantaine de prisonniers réussissent à se libérer et se retournent contre leurs bourreaux, qu'ils passent par les armes. Cinqué, leur leader, oblige le capitaine à les ramener en Afrique, mais celui-ci, profitant de son ignorance, met le cap sur l’Amérique. Emprisonnés, les mutins vont être défendus par deux fervents abolitionnistes, Theodore Joadson et Lewis Tappan, qui engagent un jeune avocat: Roger Baldwin.
