Johnny Tremain is a 1957 American adventure war film made by Walt Disney Productions, released by Buena Vista Distribution,[2] and based on the 1944 Newbery Medal-winning children's novel of the same name by Esther Forbes, retelling the story of the years in Boston, Massachusetts prior to the outbreak of the American Revolution.

One day, wealthy Jonathan Lyte asks Mr. Lapham to make a sugar basin to match his grand silverware set.

Afterward, Tremain and the Sons of Liberty became active in several notable events leading to the American Revolution, including the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's Ride, and the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

During the Boston Tea Party, Dr. Joseph Warren offers to restore Tremain's hand, allowing him to return to his profession.

The film's theatrical release was accompanied by two Disney short subjects: the live-action nature story The Wetback Hound, and the cartoon special The Story of Anyburg U.S.A.. Louis Marx and Company released an American War of Independence playset featuring character figures of the actors in the show as a film tie-in.

Two distinct sequences of the film were re-issued under the titles The Boston Tea Party and The Shot Heard 'Round the World.

[5] Both were originally combined and shown on Disney's anthology TV series in 1958 as part of the episode The Liberty Story.
