Great movie... I enjoyed this movie with Clint Black and his lovely wife. The acting was great and the story was excellent. It was a good movie all around. There is some language so I don't recommend it for the WHOLE family.
One mans triumph over injustice.
MUST SEE!! Awesome awesome awesome!! My Husband and I both loved it. It is a great combination of chick flick and manly man movie and it's a true story that makes you want to help. After the movie we search for the petition online and signed it. Also it doesn't hurt that both Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black both depicted their characters perfectly. A must see for everyone!
Great Made for TV Movie I loved this the first time I saw it on Broadcast TV. I'm very glad I was able to locate it on DVD! Clint and Lisa Hartman Black act well off eachother. Great Movie based on a true story!
Movie was personal for me, since they were friends I lived in Texas during the time this movie took place and Tommy was actually a friend. They made him a small child for the movie, but he was in high school when Jack was incarcerated. His wife Shelia was one of my best friends. I wish they'd shown in the credits that it was Jack and Ponder's son Tommy who played the jury foreman that pronounced Jack "Not Guilty!". The heartache and frustrations during the time Jack was away was real. You can just imagine if it'd happend to you.
You can see some of their real family members behind Lisa and Clint in the courtroom scenes and also in the rodeo crowds.
Jack needs to be inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame. He earned it!
