A woman shoots her husband when she abruptly discovers his infidelity. Husband and wife Adam and Amanda Bonner represent opposing sides of the case; Amanda feels that if the genders were reversed, a jury would find her client not guilty. And while Adam has total regard for the law, the friction of the case and accompanying public spectacle threaten their marriage. Received an Oscar nomination for Best Story and Screenplay.
