"Just Mercy" is based on the powerful and thought-provoking true story of young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Brie Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the main testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings, as well as overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds—and the system—stacked against them.

Michael B. Jordan ("Creed," "Black Panther") and Oscar winners Jamie Foxx ("Ray," "Baby Driver," "Django: Unchained") and Brie Larson ("Room," "Short Term 12," "Captain Marvel") star in "Just Mercy," an inspiring drama that brings one of the most important stories of our time to the big screen.

The main cast also includes Rob Morgan ("Mudbound," TV's "Stranger Things") as Herbert Richardson, a fellow prisoner who also sits on death row awaiting his fate. Tim Blake Nelson ("Wormwood," "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs") as Ralph Myers, whose pivotal testimony against Walter McMillian is called into question. Rafe Spall ("The Big Short," "The Ritual") as Tommy Chapman, the district attorney who is fighting to uphold Walter's conviction and sentence. O'Shea Jackson Jr. ("Straight Outta Compton," "Godzilla: King of the Monsters") as Anthony Ray Hinton, another wrongly convicted death row inmate whose cause is taken up by Bryan and Karan Kendrick ("The Hate U Give," "Hidden Figures") as Walter's wife, Minnie McMillian, who stands by her husband.
