Plots(1)

The Thin Blue Line perhaps remains Morris' most controversial and well-known work. Billed as "the first movie mystery to actually solve a murder," the film is credited with overturning the conviction of Randall Dale Adams for the murder of Dallas police officer Robert Wood, a crime for which Adams was to be executed.
