Movie Reviews of The Siege at Ruby Ridge
Movie Review: A Tragic True Story
Summary: 4 Stars
This extremely well done 2-part television mini-series ostensibly relates the true facts about the tragic incident that occurred in August of 1992 when Federal agents, armed with rifles, choppers and tanks, surrounded the Ruby Ridge, Idaho, cabin of White Supremacist Randy Weaver, who had resisted a Federal arrest warrant.
Following an 11-day stand-off that brought nationwide attention, both Weaver's wife and 14-year-old son were dead. Weaver, ultimately, surrendered, was tried on trumped-up murder and conspiracy charge and acquitted.
Roger Young directed the film, which stars Randy Quaid as Weaver, Laura Dern as his wife and Kristen Dunst as their oldest daughter. Also in the cast are Diane Ladd, Bob Gunton and Joe Don Baker.
The problem with this docudrama is that there is nobody in the story that you really want to root for. Yes, the Government abused their power in going after the Weavers with such deadly force. The deaths were certainly unnecessary; caused by some trigger-happy agents.
On the other hand, the Weavers were, indeed, White Supremacists who followed Nazi doctrines. It is terrible that their family was destroyed and one can certainly grieve for them, but didn't they bring what happened upon themselves?
? Michael B. Druxman
Summary of The Siege at Ruby Ridge
On August 22, 1992, 400 Federal agents armed with rifles, choppers and tanks, surrounded the Ruby Ridge, Idaho, cabin of White Supremacist Randy Weaver (Randy Quaid, Independence Day). When Weaver resists a Federal arrest warrant, the U.S. Government declared war on the separatist and his family. Following an 11-day standoff that left his wife (Laura Dern, Wild at Heart) and son (Bradley Pierce, Jumanji) dead, Weaver surrendered and inexplicably was brought to trial on trumped-up murder and conspiracy charges, in this Emmy? nominated docudrama based on the real-life events that shocked a nation. Co-starring Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man) and Diane Ladd (TV's Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital).Drama DVD Video
