Synopsis
Marseille, 1974. Dans la matinée du 3 juin, Elisa Garcia, âgée de 8 ans, disparait de la cité Sainte-Agnès en compagnie d'un inconnu. Selon José, le frère d'Elisa âgé de 6 ans, l'homme était brun, vêtu d'un pull-over rouge et conduisait une Simca 1100 de couleur grise. A 20 kilomètres de Marseille, au croisement de La Pomme, un inconnu prend la fuite au volant de son coupé Peugeot 304 gris après avoir grillé le stop et percuté une voiture. Quelques heures plus tard, un jeune homme demande de l'aide dans une maison, non loin du lieu de l'accident : sa voiture, le fameux coupé Peugeot 304, est embourbé dans une galerie de la champignonnière voisine. Quant à Elisa, elle reste introuvable. Le 5 juin, le corps d'une fillette est retrouvé sans vie près du croisement de la Pomme. Le conducteur du coupé est finalement identifié : il s'agit de Christian Ranucci, un représentant de commerce de 20 ans habitant à Nice. De plus, la fillette est formellement identifiée par le père d'Elisa : il s'agit bien de sa fille. Dans la galerie où Ranucci s'est embourbé, la police retrouve un pull-over rouge. Christian Ranucci est arrêté. Cependant, le petit José ne le reconnaît pas comme étant le ravisseur.Actors

Le président des Chemins de fer nationaux japonais est retrouvé mort pendant une période où le service ferroviaire est perturbé par de nombreux licenciements, grèves et fermetures. Le gouvernement affirme que le président a été assassiné ; la police prétend qu'il s'agit d'un suicide. Un journaliste perplexe suit l'affaire pendant des années, mais la question fondamentale reste sans réponse : la victime a-t-elle été tuée par des membres du mouvement communiste naissant au Japon, ou la mort a-t-elle été mise en scène par les autorités dans l'espoir de discréditer les communistes ?

Lara Brennan (Elizabeth Banks) is convicted of murdering her boss and is sentenced to life in prison. The evidence seems impossible to dispute: her car is parked right next to the car of her boss, she is seen leaving the crime scene seconds before the body is discovered, the murder weapon (a fire extinguisher) has her fingerprints on it and she has the victim's blood on the back of her overcoat. Following the failure of her appeal, Lara's husband John Brennan (Russell Crowe), a professor at a community college, becomes obsessed with the idea of breaking her out of jail, while their son Luke ceases to acknowledge her during their prison visits, saddening Lara. One day, she attempts suicide, and tells John that she cannot survive a life in prison. John promises that this will not be her life.

Judge Steven Hardin (Michael Douglas) is an idealistic Los Angeles jurist who gets frustrated when the technicalities of the law prevent the prosecution of two men who are accused of raping and killing a 10-year-old boy. They were driving slowly late at night and attracted the suspicion of two police officers, who wondered if the van's occupants might be burglars. After checking the license plate for violations, the policemen pulled them over for expired paperwork, claimed to have smelled marijuana, then saw a bloody shoe inside the van. However, the paperwork was actually submitted on time (it was merely processed late), meaning the police had no reason to pull over the van and Hardin has no choice (see fruit of the poisonous tree) but to throw out any subsequently discovered evidence, i.e. the bloody shoe. Hardin is even more distraught when the father of the boy attempts to shoot the criminals in court but misses and shoots a cop instead. Subsequently, the father commits suicide while in jail only after he informs Hardin that another boy has been discovered raped and murdered and tells him "This one is on you, your Honor. That boy would be alive if you hadn't let those men go." After hearing all this, Judge Hardin approaches his friend, Judge Caulfield (Hal Holbrook), who tells him of a modern-day Star Chamber: a group of judges who identify criminals who fell through the judicial system's cracks and then take actions against them outside the legal structure.

Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and "Dick" Hickock (Scott Wilson) concoct a plan to invade the home of the Clutter family, as Mr. Clutter supposedly keeps a large supply of cash on hand in a safe. While the two criminals feel their plan for the robbery is sound, it quickly unravels, resulting in the murders of Mr. and Mrs. Clutter and their two teenage children. The bodies are discovered the next day, and a police investigation is immediately launched. As the investigation builds, the two wanted men continue to elude law enforcement by heading south and crossing into Mexico; but, after a while, they return to the U.S. and decide to travel to Las Vegas to win some money at gambling. There, they are arrested for violating parole, being in possession of a stolen car, and passing bad checks.
