Carl Lee Hailey (Samuel L. Jackson) is a heartbroken black father
who avenges his daughter's brutal rape by shooting the bigoted men
responsible for the crime as they are on their way to trial. He turns to
Jake Brigance (Matthew McConaughey), an untested lawyer, to defend him.
Brigance struggles to
believe that he can get
Hailey acquitted in this small, segregated Southern town, given Hailey's
race and the deliberate nature of his crimes, but Carl has unshakable
faith in him.
