![]() ![]() ![]() Zoe Kazan is Herman’s wife Elizabeth, who at first is embarrassed by her husband’s public displays and says maybe things won’t be so bad after all - but as events escalate and predominantly Jewish neighborhoods across the country are targeted for violence, Elizabeth becomes a force to be reckoned with. Morgan Spector gives a screen-commanding performance as Herman Levin, who is filled with dread in the days leading up to the election and can’t contain his outrage every time anti-Semitism rears its ugly head. The story is told through the experiences of an extended, working-class Jewish family and the people in their lives. (In limited screen time, Ben Cole is excellent as Lindbergh, who comes across as a man of presidential charisma - and a chilling affinity for the Nazis and their warped view of the world.) ![]() Charles Lindbergh is actually a secondary character in “The Plot Against America,” looming for the most part over events as a voice on the radio, a presence on newsreel footage shown in the theaters and as the topic of heated discussion. ![]()
