Presunto Inocente

El fiscal Rusty Sabich (Harrison Ford) es el principal sospechoso del asesinato de una atractiva colega profesional, Carolyn Polhemus, con quien tiene un romance extramatrimonial. Sabich se ve enredado en una misteriosa trama por la que el sistema judicial que él defiende a capa y espada, trata ahora de encerrarle y arruinar su vida profesional y sentimental.

Alan J. Pakula es un director ambicioso, siempre preocupado por el funcionamiento de los mecanismos que estructuran la sociedad. Sobresalen entre sus películas tres policíacas, con una inquietud esclarecedora: Klute (1971), El último testigo (1974), y Todos los hombres del presidente (1976). Presunto inocente sube el ritmo de la narración, desde la serenidad inicial de un hombre satisfecho, hasta la trepidante parte final. Una incursión en el interior de la justicia y de las pasiones humanas, donde Harrison Ford hace un papel muy convincente. La música es del genial John Williams.

TRAILER

Carolyn Polhemus, an up-and-comer in the Kindle County D.A.'s Office, is found viciously murdered in her home. Immediately her boss, D.A. Raymond Horgan and his chief deputy, Rusty Sabich start an investigation. Horgan, however, is in the middle of a campaign to keep his job, which he ultimately loses to former subordinate Nico Della Guardia. Della Guardia and his new deputy, Tommy Molto, decide to prosecute Sabich for Carolyn's murder when it is revealed that Sabich was a former lover of Polhemus. Horgan also turns against his former subordinate, and Rusty soon realizes he has few friends left - except for Sandy Stern, whom he has often faced on the other side of the courtroom, and who will become his new defense lawyer when he is put on trial for murder. Investigation by Stern and his team leads them to think that Rusty was framed for murder - by Molto, who wanted Sabich's job and was trying to punish him for backing Horgan. Is Rusty Sabich innocent...or is he a murderer?
