After an assistant D.A. is found brutally murdered, all the evidence points to D.A. Rusty Sabich, who was involved with an affair with her shortly before her death. Poor Rusty gets a piece too, but when he does not give her what she wants, she terminates the relationship. Now Rusty finds himself fighting for his freedom after traces of body fluids and his fingerprints are discovered at the crime scene.

Harrison Ford turns in a subtle but brilliant performance, although sporting one of the world's worst haircuts. As a matter of fact, it is quite a competent movie all around, with the actors, director, and screenwriter all turning in A-grade work., except for John Williams annoying and repetitive score. If you're in the mood for an excellent courtroom drama, give this one a shot, it's quite good.
