Tall Tales & Legends: John Henry

Acclaimed film actor Danny Glover stars as John Henry, the American folk hero who becomes the famous steel-driving man of American folk lore and song. Tom Hulce plays Quinn, and Irish indentured servant born and raised on the same plantation as John Henry. As Quinn tells it, "the night John Henry was born, lightning bolts shaped like nine-pound hammers filled the sky," and from that day on, John Henry was known as an extraordinary boy who became an extraordinary man.
