Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor (TV)

The greatest general of the Revolution, he became its most dangerous enemy. Aidan Quinn stars as the infamous traitor in this riveting story of a man trapped between his nation and his heart. Benedict Arnold (1741-1801) was a general during the American Revolutionary War, and he was perhaps the finest commander in the Continental Army. But he will always be remembered as a traitor who turned his back on America in its hour of need. After winning important victories for the breakaway colonies, Arnold is driven to resign by an ungrateful Congress. Coaxed back into service by his old friend George Washington, he is soon enmeshed in the divisive politics of Revolutionary Philadelphia. And when his love for a loyalist woman leads to scandal – and the Colonial leaders fail to support him – the stage is set for his fateful decision.
