...And Justice for All

“Once in a while someone fights back.”

In 1970s Baltimore, the courthouse is a place where deals get made and cases get lost. Arthur Kirkland (Al Pacino), a defense lawyer who still believes in the work, is told he will be disbarred unless he defends Judge Henry T. Fleming (John Forsythe), a man he despises, on a rape charge. Norman Jewison films it in the city's own courthouse, Pacino pacing its hallways among the grim and the weary.
