In the King of Prussia is a 1982 film directed and written by Emile de Antonio. The film reconstructs the 1980 of the "Plowshares Eight," a group of anti-war activists who were charged with the September 1980 destruction of nose cones designed for nuclear warheads at the Re-Entry Division of the General Electric Space Technology Center in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.[1][2] The members of the Plowshares Eight, including Daniel Berrigan and Philip Berrigan, played themselves while actors played the roles of jurors, lawyers and police; Martin Sheen played the role of the judge in this shot-on-video feature.[3]
