The story

What Is Ruby Ridge About?

The premise of Ruby Ridge without spoilers.

In August 1992, six U.S. marshals approached the remote mountaintop home of Randy and Vicki Weaver in Northern Idaho. Accused of selling illegal firearms to an undercover agent and failing to appear in court, Weaver was the target of a law enforcement operation. For months, the family had been living in isolation with a substantial collection of weapons. A confrontation erupted when agents encountered family members, resulting in a deadly standoff. The events, explored through interviews with Weaver’s daughter, Sara, and involved agents, ignited controversy and contributed to the rise of the American militia movement.
