Last Dance
Sometimes justice is a crime
Directed by Bruce Beresford
Produced by Touchstone Pictures
A somber legal drama about a lawyer's deepening bond with a death-row inmate as he races against her execution, grappling with justice, mortality, and the possibility of redemption.
Upon taking a new job, young lawyer Rick Hayes is assigned to the clemency case of Cindy Liggett, a woman convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death. As Hayes investigates the background for her case, the two begin to form a deep friendship, while the date for her execution draws nearer.
