Danton background

Danton

During the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, Georges Danton, a passionate advocate for the common people, engages in a bitter struggle with Maximilien Robespierre and his radical followers.

In November 1793, Danton returns to Paris after learning that the Committee for Public Safety, led by Robespierre, has started a series of massive executions known as The Terror. Despite his confidence in the people's support, Danton clashes with his former ally Robespierre, who ultimately rounds up Danton and his followers, puts them on trial, and sentences them to death by guillotine.
