The 10-year-old daughter of Carl Lee Haley, a black man from Mississippi, was raped by two white youths and seriously injured. When he learned that rapists were sentenced to ten years in prison at most, he revealed the idea of punishing the criminals himself. His lawyer Jack was supposed to report the incident to the police, but he did not do so. When the court arraigned the criminal, Carl shot the two to death. This matter immediately became a national sensation. During the interrogation, the prosecutor Rufus led the jury to pay attention to the fact that the two white youths were killed, while the lawyer Jack detailed the tragic situation of the little girl being raped and beaten, and the consequences of being unable to have children in the future. The members of the jury shed tears. The film is adapted from John Grisham's novel of the same name, and movies based on his works are very popular.
