Em 1921, anarquistas e a polícia se confrontam em Barcelona. E um policial faz jogo duplo para descobrir quem roubou armas que poderiam desencadear uma guerra civil.
Bitter about being double-crossed by the women he loved, (and with the police after him to boot), Bill vows to seduce the next woman he sees, then throw her away. His brother Dennis, meanwhile, is equally determined to track down their long lost father, a revolutionary who has been in hiding for 20 years. For different reasons, both leave New York and head for Long Island, out of money, and short on ideas.
Boston, início dos anos 20. Nicola Sacco (Riccardo Cucciolla) e Bartolomeo Vanzetti (Gian Maria Volonté) são dois imigrantes italianos, sendo o primeiro um sapateiro e o outro um peixeiro, que são detidos pela polícia. Ninguém negava que eram anarquistas, na verdade eles mesmo admitiam, pois acreditavam que era a única forma de o homem não ser explorado pelo homem. Porém era duvidoso que Sacco e Vanzetti fossem culpados de um assassinato, que aconteceu em 15 de abril de 1920. O julgamento deles deixou de ser algo baseado na justiça e sim na política, pois deviam ser condenados por serem estrangeiros e seguirem uma doutrina política que se opunha ao conservadorismo, que tinha as rédeas do poder nos Estados Unidos.
Nesse drama de guerra que é uma mistura entre documentário e ficção, a classe trabalhadora e a burguesia da Paris do século XIX são entrevistadas e cobertas pela televisão, antes e durante uma trágica revolta de classe operária.

When Edward Abbey died in 1989 at the age of sixty-two, the American West lost one of its most eloquent and passionate advocates. Through his novels, essays, letters and speeches, Edward Abbey consistently voiced the belief that the West was in danger of being developed to death, and that the only solution lay in the preservation of wilderness. Abbey authored twenty-one books in his lifetime, including Desert Solitaire, The Monkey Wrench Gang, The Brave Cowboy, and The Fool's Progress. His comic novel The Monkey Wrench Gang helped inspire a whole generation of environmental activism. A writer in the mold of Twain and Thoreau, Abbey was a larger-than-life figure as big as the West itself.
On September 16, 1920, as hundreds of Wall Street workers headed out for lunch, a horse-drawn cart packed with dynamite exploded in front of Morgan Bank — the world’s most powerful banking institution. The blast turned the nation’s financial center into a bloody war zone and left 38 dead and hundreds more seriously injured. As financial institutions around the country went on high alert, many wondered if this was the strike against American capitalism that radical agitators had threatened for so long.
