Synopsis

WATCH THE FILM...

Following a prison term he served for manslaughter, Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) returns to find his family homestead overwhelmed by the weather and the greed of the banking industry.

With little work potential on the horizon of the Oklahoma dust bowls, the entire family packs up and heads for the promised land – California. But the arduous trip and harsh living conditions they encounter offer little hope, and family unity proves as daunting a challenge as any other they face.

Winner of 2 Academy Awards® 1940:
BEST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE

READ THE BOOK BY JOHN STEINBECK...

Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer prize-winning epic remains his undisputed masterpiece.

The story of the Joad family is one of false hopes, thwarted desires and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in itsscale and moral vision; aneloquent tribute to theendurance and dignity ofthe human spirit.

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
