Stakes are high in an explosive trial when the widow of a gun massacre victim sues the gun’s manufacturer. With millions of dollars in the balance, an unscrupulous jury consultant, (Gene Hackman), will spare no expense to ensure the chosen jury remains sympathetic to his client. Tension mounts and tables are turned as it comes to light that the jury is being manipulated by one of its own, (John Cusack). This is a case where those involved will do just about anything to win.
READ THE BOOK BY JOHN GRISHAM...
Every jury has a leader and the verdict belongs to him. In Biloxi, Mississippi, a landmark trail with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake begins routinely, then swerves mysteriously off course. The jury is behaving strangely, and at least one juror is convinced he’s being watched. Soon they have to be sequestered. Then a tip from an young woman suggests she is able to predict the jurors’ increasingly odd behaviour. Is the jury somehow being manipulated, or even controlled? And, more importantly, why?
