Johnny Tremain wasn't a bad movie considering the time period that it was made. I enjoyed it mostly because of the time period the movie takes place. Definitely more accurate than some of the other movies I've seen about similar time periods. If I was watching this movie in 1957, when it came out, I would probably feel pretty good about America.
The movie starts out with Johnny working for some guy that's a silversmith. Then this Lyte guy comes wanting the silversmith to remake a pot thing that a maid "broke" but the pot doesn't even look broken. Johnny tells the old guy that he would like to make the pot and breaks the sabbath doing so. His punishment for breaking the sabbath? He burns his hand and can no longer be a silversmith. Then he wanders around looking for a new job. He can't work anywhere because now he's a cripple. He joins the revolution and fights the red coats without a musket 'cause he's a boss. And they all live happily ever after.
The end.
