USA Today - 07/29/2005

"The most provocative movie ever about miscarried justice -- and a heavy influence on the following decade's non-fiction TV crime shows."

Empire - 02/01/2008

4 stars out of 5 -- "As gripping as any thriller, this is a rare film that actually saved someone's life."

Product Description:

Through the use of reenactments of the crime, photo montages, film clips and interviews, this is a reconstruction and investigation of the 1976 murder of a Dallas policeman and the subsequent arrest and sentencing to death of a man who claims to be innocent.

Plot Synopsis:

Errol Morris' documentary investigates the murder of a Dallas cop and the many missteps made by a faulty and lazy legal system -- errors that nearly led to the death of a possibly innocent man.
