The Hurricane (1999)
Denzel Washington lands a knockout punch as Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, who -- at the zenith of his boxing career -- finds himself wrongly convicted of a triple New Jersey homicide and sentenced to three life terms. While in prison, Carter pens his autobiography, which inspires Brooklyn teen Lesra Martin (Vicellous Reon Shannon) and a trio of Canadian advocates (Liev Schreiber, John Hannah and Deborah Unger) to help prove Carter's innocence.
