Through the use of reenactments of the crime, photo montages, film clips and interviews, this is a reconstruction and investigation of the 1976 murder of a Dallas policeman and the subsequent arrest and sentencing to death of a man who claims to be innocent. Randall Adams was eventually released from prison as a result of the attention the film brought to his case. The other man who was also charged with the murder confessed to the filmmaker that he shot the police officer.
