Wrongfully Accused

ActionAdventureComedyThriller87 min

Star violinist Ryan Harrison is framed for murder when the husband of Lauren Goodhue turns up dead, and a transfer to his execution becomes his chance to escape. Leslie Nielsen is Ryan, a celebrity musician suddenly dodging police, reporters, and a string of escalating mishaps while trying to clear his name. Richard Crenna and Kelly LeBrock join the chaos around him as the case spirals outward. The plot sends Ryan chasing the one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged man he believes can prove his innocence, with the fugitive setup constantly bent toward slapstick, sight gags, and spoof.
