...And Justice for All (1979)
Al Pacino stars in a powerful courtroom drama about the collision of personal conscience and a deeply flawed justice system. Defense attorney Arthur Kirkland struggles to protect vulnerable clients while facing corruption, hypocrisy and ethical conflicts within the legal profession. When he is pressured to defend Judge Henry T. Fleming—a man whose conduct he despises—Kirkland must decide how far he can compromise his principles in the name of justice. Directed by Norman Jewison, the film blends gripping drama with sharp dark humor.
