RunAway Jury!


Genre: Drama
Director: Gary Fleder
Distributor: 20th Century Fox

Cast: John Cusack, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Rachel Weisz, Jennifer Beals (and more)

When a young widow in New Orleans brings a civil suit against the powerful corporate consortium she holds responsible for her husband's murder, she sets in motion a multi-million dollar case. But it's a suit that may be won even before it begins--based solely on the selection, manipulation and, ultimately, the attempted “theft” of the jury. Representing the widow is Wendall Rohr, a courtly Southern lawyer with a moral centre and a heartfelt passion for the case he's presenting. His opponent is ostensibly the attorney representing the corporation. But in reality, defense counsel is only the front man for Rankin Fitch, a brilliant and ruthless jury consultant. At a high tech command centre set up in an old French Quarter warehouse, Fitch and his team work on the surveillance and assessment of potential jurors. He will know everything about their lives, and strategically manipulate the jury selection process. The only acceptable result is the perfect jury to vote in favour of his client. Fitch and Rohr soon realise they're not the only ones out to win the jury. One of the jurors, Nick Easter, seems to have his own plan for swaying the panel.

On each single one of those who betrayed her. The Bride sets out to take back what was once hers: Her life.
