An Innocent Man (1989)

Directed by Peter Yates

“Falsely accused. Unjustly convicted. Determined to survive on the inside. Demanding justice once he's on the outside.”

Crime, Drama, Thriller · 1h 53m

Jimmie Rainwood was minding his own business when two corrupt police officers (getting an address wrong) burst into his house, expecting to find a major drug dealer. Rainwood is shot, and the officers frame him as a drug dealer. Rainwood is convicted of drug dealing, based on the perjured evidence of a police informant. Thrown into a seedy jail, fighting to prove his innocence is diffucult when he has to deal with the realities of prison life, where everyone claims they were framed.
