Based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Color Purple" is a richly-textured, powerful film set in America’s rural south. Whoopi Goldberg, winner of the Best Actress Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination, makes a triumphant screen debut as the radiant, indomitable Celie, the story’s central character.

Her impressive portrayal is complimented by a distinguished cast that includes Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, Margaret Avery, Adolph Caesar, Rae Dawn Chong and Akosua Busia. "The Color Purple" marks a new, more mature color in Spielberg’s artistic palette.

It is an exquisitely crafted, landmark film that will be treasured and talked about for years to come.
