The life, love and genius of the United States' greatest novelist come to the screen in The Adventures of Mark Twain. Young, aspiring writer Samuel Langhorne Clemens hears the call of a riverboat hand sounding the water's depth "Mark Twain" and knows the pen name under which he will create some of the greatest works of English literature. From a frog-jumping contest that becomes his first short story, to his great American novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which captures both the limitless American spirit and the dark underside to American society, Mark Twain's life and imagination amaze, entertain and inspire people across generations and around the world.
