Director Errol Morris freed a convicted murderer from jail with this stunning documentary.

In November 1976 Randall Adams ran out of gas in Texas and was picked up by a 16-year-old runaway David Harris. Harris was driving a stolen car, and when a Dallas police officer pulled the two men over to check on the vehicle, Harris shot and killed him. However, Harris said it's Adams who shot the officer. A jury believed that Adams was the killer, thanks to the perjured testimony of Harris and the misleading accounts of two witnesses.

Morris interviews all the principals involved in the case, including federal officers under pressure to deliver an assailant and some extremely unreliable witnesses, to present what may have been a major miscarriage of justice. Morris reenacts the crime again and again, staging stylish slow-motion re-creations that add and subtract crucial details as the story unfolds.

通过这部令人震惊的纪录片，导演Errol Morris让被判为杀人凶手的人重获自由。

1976年11月， 在Texas州Randall Adams的车没了油，他因此结识了16岁的逃犯David Harris。Harris开着一辆偷来的车，当一个Dallas的警官拦住两人检查时，Harris射杀了他。但Harris却说是Adams杀害了警官。陪审团由于相信了Harris的谎话和两个证人的伪证而认定Adams有罪。

Morris采访了与此事有关的所有官员，包括在压力下宣布谁是袭击者的联邦警官和一些非常不可靠的证人，来显示那可能是一个误判。Morris还一遍一遍地重现犯罪经过，使用慢镜头以及模拟扮演，根据故事的需要增减关键细节。
