Jodie Foster gives an unforgettable Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning performance in this powerful, thought provoking look at human nature and individual moral conscience. After a brutal gang rape in the back of a neighbourhood bar, Sarah Tobias finds herself battling the legal system with her attorney (Kelly McGillis). As they go after both her attackers and the onlookers whose cheering fueled and encouraged the assault, the limits of justice and social responsibility are examined and tested.

English Unbalanced storytelling pace and unacceptably melodramatic closing speech by the defender spoil the impression of this evocative drama. However, Jodie and Kelly were at their peak acting abilities then. ()
