Based on John Steinbeck’s 1939 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
The film tells the story of an Oklahoma family of sharecroppers who lose their farm during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and their arduous migration to California in search of work.
Widely considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, in 1989, it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.
Director: John Ford, 1940
