Presumed Innocent (Full Frame)

"Presumed Innocent" is a suspenseful whodunit, a sexy thriller, a powerful courtroom drama and a dazzling vehicle for Harrison Ford. He plays a deputy prosecutor engaged in an obsessive affair with a coworker (Greta Scacchi) who is murdered. Soon after, he's accused of the crime. And his fight to clear his name becomes a whirlpool of lies and hidden passions. Brian Dennehy, Bonnie Bedelia, Raul Julia, Paul Winfield and John Spencer co-star under the crackling direction of Alan J. Pakula ("The Pelican Brief," "All the President's Men"). Suspense master Pakula once again proves his expertise at stripping away the business-as-usual veneer of institution to show the intrigue and passions underneath. This time he uses Scott Turow's bestseller to examine the American legal system - discovering the sword of justice is double-edged.
