He's the man who inspired songwriters, actors and everyday people to march on the streets of the U.S. for justice and freedom. His name is Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, and this is the triumphant, powerful true story of his 20 year fight to clear his name. After two trials and a mountain of bungled investigations, Rubin Carter was wrongfully convicted of a triple murder and sent to prison for the rest of his natural life...until the purchase of his autobiography led one young man on a mission to free him. 1989 Academy Award winner, Denzel Washington (Glory), stars in the role critics have hailed as his best yet - as "The Hurricane", the renowned boxer whose toughest opponent was hatred and whose greatest fight was for justice.
