Sean Penn plays Matthew Poncelet – a convict on death row after raping and brutally murdering a young couple. After writing to Sister Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon) and asking for help, she agrees to act as his spiritual adviser during the days leading up to his execution. The film, which is based on the real-life experiences of Sister Helen Prejean, shows the horrors of state-sanctioned executions while representing sympathetically the grief felt by the families of the victims. Written, directed and produced by Tim Robbins (
Cradle Will Rock and
Bob Roberts) this controversial film provides a powerful commentary on society, capital punishment, morality and forgiveness.
