Based upon Bryan Stevenson’s bestselling memoir Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption., the film sees Jordan playing Stevenson, a gifted young lawyer fighting for equal justice in a flawed legal system, who takes on the case of a death row inmate (Foxx) who insists he is innocent of his crimes.
Just Mercy features a cast that also includes Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Godzilla: King of the Monsters), Rafe Spall (Men in Black: International), and Tim Blake Nelson (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs).
