Synopsis:

Emmy-nominee Ron Silver is Alan Dershowitz (whose book the film is based on), the combative lawyer with working class New York roots and a passion for clear-minded justice who decides to defend von Bulow in the attempted murder of his heiress wife, Sunny (Academy Award-nominee, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Glenn Close) even though he's not sure of von Bulow's innocence. From Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominated director Barbet Schroeder and produced by Edward R. Pressman and Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Oliver Stone and co-starring Annabella Sciorra and Emmy-winner and Golden Globe-nominee Christine Baranski.
