Presumed Innocent is based on one of Scott Turow’s best legal thrillers and puts prosecutor Rusty Sabich (Harrison Ford) into everyone’s nightmare scenario — being accused of a serious crime one didn’t commit that wraps around something else you did that, while not criminal, does not look good. Sabich is accused of murdering a colleague with whom he was having an affair.
We love this movie because it represents the kind of tough case we’re often called in to work on, and it shows the grip a compelling story can have even when it’s not true. We can’t say anything more without revealing too much … but, if you’ve never seen this movie, watch it!
