Time to Kill, A

Time to Kill, A

1996

After the brutal rape of a black girl by two white men in a small Mississippi town, the child's vengeful father (Samuel L. Jackson) takes the law into his own hands. But as his trial date approaches, all hell breaks loose. Aided by lawyer Matthew McConaughey and spunky legal assistant Sandra Bullock, the father fights to stay out of prison and salve his daughter's terrible memories.

A lawyer and his assistant fighting to save a father on trial for murder. A time to question what they believe. A time to doubt what they trust. And no time for mistakes.
