Summary: A teenage boy is killed. A Sikh boy is on trial for his murder. The trial is set to focus the nation's attention on race relations.

The duty of serving on a jury is examined in this courtroom drama, a mini-series created for British television. The case concerns a young Pakistani student who is on trial for the ax murder of a fellow classmate. The case is engulfed in controversy due to the racial implications that have been grabbing the headlines and dividing the country. This added hype gives jurors a bigger picture to ponder as they decide the fate of the accused. Derek Jacobi gives a standout performance representing the defense.

Editor's Review

amazon.co.uk Based on the bestseller by John Grisham, Runaway Juryis a slick thriller that's exciting enough to overcome the gaps in its plot. The ultimate target has been changed: Grisham's legal assault on the tobacco industry was switched to the hot-button issue of gun control (no doubt to avoid comparisons with The Insider) in a riveting exposé of jury-tampering. Gene Hackman plays the ultra-cynical, utterly unscrupulous pawn of the gun-makers, using an expert staff and advanced electronics to hand-pick a New Orleans jury that will return a favourable verdict; Dustin Hoffman (making his first screen appearance with real-life former roommate Hackman) defends the grieving widow of a gun-shooting victim with idealistic zeal, while maverick juror John Cusack and accomplice Rachel Weisz play both ends against the middle in a personal quest to hold gun-makers accountable. It's riveting stuff, even when it's obvious that Grisham and director Gary Fleder have glossed over any details that would unravel the plot's intricate design. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
