About

A Harvard-educated lawyer travels to Alabama to defend poor prisoners, including a death-row inmate who says he is innocent.

In 1989, Bryan Stevenson, a Harvard law graduate played by Michael B. Jordan, travels to Alabama to defend poor people who cannot afford proper legal representation. With Eva Ansley, played by Brie Larson, he forms the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery and works against injustices in criminal law that have led to high numbers of African Americans being convicted and imprisoned.

At a state prison, Stevenson meets inmates on death row who are seeking appeals. One is Walter "Johnny D." McMillian, played by Jamie Foxx, who has maintained his innocence in the 1986 killing of a white 18-year-old woman. Reviewing the case, Stevenson finds that the evidence depends solely on testimony from Ralph Myers, a convicted felon played by Tim Blake Nelson.
