Storyline
On March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh, Jr., infant son and namesake of the famed pilot, is kidnapped. After he is found dead, a German immigrant named Bruno Hauptmann is tried for kidnapping and murder.
When the infant son of world-famous aviator Charles A. Lindbergh (Cliff De Young) is kidnapped from his New Jersey home, speculation about who took him and why grips the entire nation. During the subsequent investigation, the boy is found murdered, and a German carpenter named Bruno Richard Hauptmann (Sir Anthony Hopkins) emerges as the primary suspect. The media buzz surrounding the trial is enormous, and while the facts seem to be against Hauptmann, the wild theories nevertheless continue to proliferate.
