Über diesen Film

Academy Award nominee Denzel Washington earned a Golden Globe for his powerful performance in this critically acclaimed masterpiece directed by Norman Jewison (In The Heat Of The Night, The Thomas Crown Affair). As popularized worldwide by Bob Dylan's smash song, it's the unforgettable saga of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a proud, once-promising prizefighter unjustly convicted of a brutal crime. Locked away and all but forgotten for nearly two decades, Carter's last glimmer of hope rests with the tireless efforts of a small group of supporters who stubbornly refuse to end the fight for his freedom. Also featuring an all-star supporting cast, this landmark motion picture chronicles not only the ultimate victory of a champion, but a stirring triumph for the human spirit. 1999 Buena Vista International

Oh my God what a hard film to watch. Heartbreaking. Denzel Washington is outstanding in this movie and if he didn't get an Oscar or several he was robbed. Mr Rubin "Hurricane" Carter I get down on my knees and salute you Sir - I'm speechless. The supporting cast was also superb especially young Vicellous Shannon.

I recall watching this film many years ago, it first brought home the widespread injustice of wrongful convictions to me..this true story film is a testament to true courage in the face of adversity and of not giving up! What a film 🎥
