In the southern Mississippi town of Canton, the KKK is very active and the tension is high when the black majority is angered at the rape and beating of a 10-year-old black girl. Against Jake's advice, the distraught father takes revenge, gunning down the two criminals in the local courthouse. Racial hatred heightens with the coming of the father’s trial and conflict threatens to break out regardless of the verdict. Jake must decide, along with his new, eager assistant whether he and his family can run the risk of defending the man.

| A good movie in typical Grisham fashion. But it should be easy with such a good plot and character basis to work with. |
| Another great Grisham novel turned mega-movie with great casting. I thought the book was really great and the movie is able to capture most of that. Good chemistry between Matthew and Sandra. Lots of well known actors popping up here and there. Well worth watching. |

Quotes
to Remember
"If I get any trouble outta you guys, I'm gonna integrate this jail." "If this is a party, boys, where's the chips and beer? Otherwise, your being here seems a bit like illegal client solicitation, what with Carl Lee already having a lawyer and all."
