The Athenian philosopher Socrates stands trial, accused of corrupting the youth and disbelieving in the gods. With his life hanging in the balance, he must convince the jury of his innocence. In a series of probing dialogues, Socrates challenges his prosecutors' assumptions, deftly turning their questions against them. As the trial builds to a climax, Socrates remains steadfast in his commitment to truth and justice, even in the face of certain death.
