Academy Award® winner Errol Morris broke new ground with this "riveting" (LA Weekly) film that dramatically reenacts the crime scene and investigation of a police officer's murder in Dallas. So powerful and convincing that it helped free an innocent man from prison, The Thin Blue Line is "one of the finest documentary features ever made" (Boxoffice).
On a cold night in November 1976, when drifter Randall Dale Adams was picked up by teenage runaway David Harris, his fate was sealed. Later that night, a police officer was shot in cold blood. And though all the facts pointed to Harris, a sociopath with a lengthy rap sheet, Adams was convicted of capital murder. Did Adams pull the trigger? And if not, can Morris unlock the secrets of this baffling case?
