Al Pacino (The Godfather), Jack Warden (Shampoo), and John Forsythe (The Trouble with Harry) lead the ensemble cast of ...And Justice for All, a brutal indictment of the American legal system from director Norman Jewison (A Soldier’s Story).

Firebrand defence attorney Arthur Kirkland (Pacino) finds that the demands of his job are at odds with his conscience. When he is forced to defend a judge (Forsythe) who is accused of a terrible crime, he plunges into a moral crisis.

Written by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and Valerie Curtin, and with acting support from Lee Strasberg (The Godfather Part II) and Jeffrey Tambor (The Larry Sanders Show), ...And Justice for All is a riveting and powerful exploration of hypocrisy and injustice.
