Abigail Williams (Winona Ryder) and a number of her teenaged female friends are screwing around in the woods one night (typical teenage rebellion kind of stuff) when they are discovered and charged as witches. It's a shame I waited this long to see it! For a basic plot summary, "The Crucible" is a story set during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. What I quickly discovered, however, is that Arthur Miller's tale here is truly one for the ages. That's probably the reason why it took me so long to actually see this version of "The Crucible", as I thought of it as "old" or "not exciting enough". Sometimes, movies that are designated as "classic" suffer from a strange sort of reverse- discrimination.
