It surprises me that so few people seem to be aware of this excellent look at the U.S. legal system.
Sometime in the future a Mid Eastern terrorist (played by Robert Davi) is kidnapped overseas and brought to the federal court in Virginia to stand trial. His reluctant defense attorney is played by Ron Liebman. Sam Waterston is the U.S. Attorney prosecuting the case. Jo Henderson, in her last role, is the judge.
Strong performances, an excellent cast, and a good, legally accurate script characterize this superb drama.
It is a very good movie.
