En Inglaterra, corriendo la década de los 50, el torpe Derek Bentley se incorpora a un grupo de delincuentes menores que lidera Chris Craig, un adolescente que se deshace por los filmes de gángsteres norteamericanos. La amistad que surge entre ambos les conduce hacia la implicación en un caso auténtico en el que el jurado condenó a muerte a Derek Bentley por el asesinato de un oficial de la policía pistola en mano. El caso Bentley hizo mella en la conciencia social de Inglaterra poniendo en duda la razón de ser de la pena capital.

    Derek William Bentley had a mental age of 11 and an IQ of 66 when he was arrested and charged with the murder of a uniformed Police Constable on an east London warehouse rooftop. Bentley was a 'follower' and had not the capability to form Criminal Intent (Mens Rea) the Defence argued. Christopher Craig (played by Paul Reynolds) was what we now call a young offender, and was the actual gunman who pulled the trigger. Christopher Eccleston brilliantly gives a truly believable portrayal of Bentley. Paul Reynolds performance will have you hating Christopher Craig. Lord Goddard was the trial Judge who sent Derek Bentley to the hangman. This movie is a must see on so many levels. A scathing indictment of a 'Justice' System which sought unmitigated revenge for what the trial judge apparently saw as an unforgivable attack on it's very self. Despite the democratic basis of the system, the Jury's recommendation for leniency was ignored.
