Drama starring Sam Waterston, Ron Leibman, Robert Davi

A Middle Eastern terrorist is kidnapped by US soldiers and taken to America to face trial for murder. A battle of minds begins between an idealistic prosecutor who will stop at nothing for a conviction, the committed Palestinian willing to martyr himself for his cause, and the liberal Jewish lawyer assigned to defend him and the judicial system he loves.
