The Trial of the Chicago 7 is easily one of the best Netflix movies of 2020. The movie premiered on Netflix in November 2020, and it looks like an awards season favorite heading into the Oscars and more.
The film tells the story of the Trial of the Chicago 7, a group of individuals who were charged with trying to start a riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
As we have come to expect from Sorkin movies, the dialogue between characters is excellent. The cast is incredible. There are few movies from 2020 that have this many big actors and actresses involved.
If you haven’t seen the Netflix original movie yet, you should check it out as soon you can. It’s definitely worth a watch on Netflix. Aaron Sorkin won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay at the 2021 Golden Globes. That sets up this story nicely for an Oscar win later this year!
