A white woman accuses a black man of rape in a Southern town during the Depression.
Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him — except Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck), the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassionate defence costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.
Adapted from Harper Lee’s legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, is a dramatic tour-de-force for which Gregory Peck won an Oscar® with his iconic career-defining performance as Atticus Finch and also featured the film debut of the late Robert Duvall. With its poignant exploration of childhood innocence and potent exposé of the American legal system, this seminal book-to-screen classic continues to impart powerful lessons for audiences of all ages.
