Drama based on the landmark trial of Max Stuart, an illiterate young Aborigine falsely accused of murdering nine-year-old Mary Hattan in a remote cave on the southern coast of Australia in 1958. The film stars Robert Carlyle and Kerry Fox as two idealistic young lawyers who, with the help of a rising press mogul called Rupert Murdoch (played by Ben Mendelsohn), take on the then corrupt and racist Australian legal system and secure a re-trial for Max.
