An Innocent Man backdrop

An Innocent Man 1989 Directed by Peter Yates

Falsely accused. Unjustly convicted. Determined to survive on the inside. Demanding justice once he's on the outside.

Jimmie Rainwood was minding his own business when two corrupt police officers (getting an address wrong) burst into his house, expecting to find a major drug dealer. Rainwood is shot, and the officers frame him as a drug dealer. Rainwood is convicted of drug dealing, based on the perjured evidence of a police informant. Thrown into a seedy jail, fighting to prove his innocence is diffucult when he has to deal with the realities of prison life, where everyone claims they were framed.
