And Justice for All

CrimeDramaThriller119 min

A Baltimore defense lawyer sickened by corruption in the courts is ordered to represent a judge he despises on a rape charge, with disbarment hanging over his head if he refuses. Al Pacino is the attorney at the center of the case, caught between his own code and a legal system that seems compromised at every turn. Jack Warden and John Forsythe fill out the courthouse world around him, as judges, lawyers, and clients push every hearing toward something messier than justice.
