Jodie Foster won deserved acclaim for her performance as Sarah Tobias, a hard-living, fiercely independent woman is gang raped in the back of a local bar. She finds herself battling the legal system not once but twice, as she and her attorney Kathryn Murphy (Kelly McGillis) go after her attackers and the onlookers whose cheering fueled and encouraged the assault. Based on a true story which occurred in New Bedford, Massachusetts. (official distributor synopsis)

An unbalanced narrative pace and unacceptably melodramatic closing speech by the accused spoil the impression of this evocative drama. However, Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis were at their peak acting abilities then.
