Synopsis

Academy Award winner Henry Fonda stars in director Alfred Hitchcock's real-life thriller of an innocent man trapped as the victim of a heartless criminal justice system, even though he's The Wrong Man.

When an eyewitness to a robbery identifies musician Christopher Balestrero (Fonda) as the culprit, Balestrero cannot prove where he was on the day of the crime. Now, the wheels of justice driven by the testimony of witnesses, mercilessly grind away the life of a man who looks remarkably like the real thief.

    06 December 2008
    One of Hitchcock's less famous films, The Wrong Man is based on the true story of Manny Balestrero, a man wrongfully accused of robbery and put on trial. Hitchcock obviously felt passionately about the film and it comes across in the way that deep, tension anxiety and despair is created. It's hard to call the film enjoyable or entertaining given its heavy subject matter, but it is certainly well worth a watch. Full of drama, The Wrong Man has a powerful impact on the viewer as it presents a grim and disturbing insight in to injustice. It's depressing stuff but The Wrong Man is without a doubt a brilliant film.
