The Accused

Jodie Foster earned a Best Actress Academy Award for her performance as the victim of a brutal gang rape in this gripping, fact-based drama. Although the incident occurred in a crowded bar with a number of witnesses, Sarah Tobias' (Foster) reputation as a "party girl" initially makes it difficult for the assistant district attorney (Kelly McGillis) to pursue serious charges against the three men responsible for the assault. With Bernie Coulson, Leo Rossi, Ann Hearn, Steve Antin. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital stereo, French Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English, French; theatrical trailer.
