Doch sein Stolz bleibt ungebrochen Im Gefängnis kämpft er um ein Revisionsverfahren - vergeblich. Trotz seiner Aufsehen erregenden Autobiografie und des Engagements von prominenten Zeitgenossen wie Bob Dylan und Muhammed Ali bleibt er hinter Gittern und zieht sich resigniert in sich selbst zurück. Jahre später, als Carter der Außenwelt längst den Rücken gekehrt hat, gibt ihm ein Mensch, den er nie zuvor gesehen hatte, neue Hoffnung Der junge Lesra Martin ist von der tragischen Lebensgeschichte des "Hurricane" so bewegt, dass er sein Leben dem Kampf um Gerechtigkeit für Carter verschreibt. Zusammen mit seinen Freunden Lisa, Terry und Sam arbeitet er fieberhaft und leidenschaftlich daran, die Unschuld von Rubin "Hurricane" Carter zu beweisen...

    Incredible true story of patience, strength of mind and justice. Denzel is jaw dropping. Glad someone took the time.

    Really good movie based on true events. I thought that it would be rooted in 90's style of film and was pleasantly surprised to find it aged really well. It was heartbreaking and violent while maintaining a steady and consistent tempo for the film.

    A Powerful Drama of Injustice "The Hurricane" is a gripping biographical drama about Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a boxer wrongfully imprisoned for a triple murder he didn't commit. Directed by Norman Jewison and starring Denzel Washington in a powerful performance, the film highlights Carter's fight for justice, his resilience, and the eventual role played by a young man, Lesra Martin, in helping him regain his freedom. Washington delivers a standout performance as Carter, capturing both the anger and hope of a man whose life was shattered by racial injustice. The supporting cast, including Vicellous Shannon as Lesra, adds depth to the narrative, though some characters feel less developed. The film's pacing is steady, but it occasionally falters, especially in the middle portion where the focus shifts from the emotional core of Carter's journey to procedural elements of his legal battles, which can be a bit dry. While The Hurricane is a powerful story of redemption and social injustice, it sometimes feels a bit too conventional in its structure. The film doesn't delve deeply enough into the complexities of the legal and social issues at play, leaving certain aspects of Carter's life and struggle feeling somewhat glossed over. Additionally, the narrative can be predictable, especially for viewers familiar with such true-life stories. Overall, "The Hurricane" is an inspiring and thought-provoking film, anchored by a strong performance from Denzel Washington. It's not without its flaws, but it remains a solid watch for anyone interested in stories of injustice and resilience.
