Legal Legends Collection

"Legal Legends Collection" includes: "The Verdict" - Sidney Lumet's riveting courtroom drama earned five Oscar nominations including Best Picture and Best Actor for Paul Newman's towering performance as an alcoholic, ambulance-chasing attorney. When Frank Galvin (Paul Newman) inherits an impossible-to-win medical malpractice case, he courageously refuses a settlement and instead takes the case - and the entire legal system - to court. "Runaway Jury" - From master storyteller John Grisham and the director of "Don't Say A Word" comes a taut suspense-thriller that "grabs you and never lets go" (Philadelphia Metro). In their first film together, screen legends Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman face off in this electrifying nail-biter about a ruthless jury consultant who'll do anything to win. With lives and millions of dollars at stake, the fixer plays a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a jury member (John Cusack) and a mysterious woman (Rachel Weisz) who offer to "deliver" the verdict to the highest bidder. Packed with danger, intrigue and pulse-pounding twists and turns, "Runaway Jury" rules! "Compulsion '59" - In this riveting true story about the notorious 1924 Leopold-loeb murder case, Orson Wells stars as the brilliant Clarence Darrow whose history-making defense against capitol punishment saved two wealthy Chicago teenagers from a death sentence. "Class Action" - Taut and emotionally powerful, Michael Apted's compelling showdown courtroom drama is driven by characters as intriguing as its predicament. The only thing Jedediah Tucker Ward and his daughter have in common is law. Equally brilliant, equally driven, the two find their longtime personal battle takes a new form when they represent opposing sides in a corporate class action lawsuit. A suspense-filled trial pits father against daughter, justice against victory.
