DramaThriller96 min
After their daughter is killed in a crash caused by a drunken driver, a family finds itself trapped in a legal process that keeps justice at arm’s length. James Farentino and Penny Fuller are at the center of the parents’ fight as delays, hearings, and courtroom technicalities begin to outweigh the loss that started the case. In court, a young district attorney struggles against a defense lawyer determined to keep his client out of jail and behind the wheel. Denzel Washington is among the supporting cast in this 1984 drama, where grief gives way to anger as the system keeps ruling in the driver’s favor.
