Brian Banks

“Falsely accused. Wrongfully convicted. Never defeated.”

Brian Banks (Aldis Hodge) was a high school linebacker with an NFL future until a false rape accusation sent him to prison, and nothing in his life afterward can be explained without it. Released with a record that closes every door, he turns to Justin Brooks (Greg Kinnear), who runs a project that fights wrongful convictions. Tom Shadyac keeps the camera close on Hodge's face, so the long years of waiting register in his eyes.
