Pravi zločin

Slovenski opis filma:

Raziskovalni novinar Steve Everett se utaplja v problemih. Šele pred kratkim je nehal piti, ker je neozdravljiv ženskar, pa mu razpada tudi zakon. Zaradi problematičnega osebnega življenja je izgubil službo pri New York Timesu, zato se je preselil v Kalifornijo, kjer ga je prijatelj zaposlil pri časopisu Oakland Tribune. Ko novinarka, ki poroča o skorajšnji usmrtitvi zapornika Franka Beachuma, umre v avtomobilski nesreči, Steve prevzame njeno delo. Med brskanjem po Frankovi preteklosti najde dokaze, da je nedolžen. Zato se Steve poda na lov za resnico, da bi preprečil Frankovo usmrtitev. Časa ima manj kot dvajset ur.

Originalni opis filma:

Steve Everett, Oakland Tribune journalist with a passion for women and alcohol, is given the coverage of the upcoming execution of murderer Frank Beachum. His attractive colleague Michelle died in a car accident the night before. Bob Findley, Steve's boss and husband to Steve's current affair, wants him dead and gone as soon as possible. When Steve stumbles across the possibility of Frank Beachum being innocently on death row, Bob feels his time to have come. Now Steve only has a few hours left to prove the innocence of Frank and to be right with this theory, as he definitely will be history if he's not.
