Lewis And Clark

The dramatic story of the momentous journey that began in 1804, when Lewis and Clark, headed up the Missouri River on what would be the United States’ first official exploration into unknown spaces. The film is about their bond of friendship, as well as their vision of the West as it was before the rest of the nation followed them and changed it forever. Sent by President Thomas Jefferson to find the fabled Northwest Passage, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the most important expedition in American history—a voyage of danger and discovery from St. Louis to the headwaters of the Missouri River, over the Continental Divide to the Pacific. It was the United States' first exploration of the West and one of the nation's most enduring adventures. Perhaps the biggest star of the film is the land itself and its extraordinary beauty, with the film dominated by stunning live cinematography.
