Into the Abyss

How fair and unbiased is America's judicial system, and can the death penalty ever truly be part of that process? These are among the questions filmmaker Werner Herzog explores in this provocative documentary. Centered on a 1991 triple homicide case in a small Texas town, the film finds Herzog talking to the two young men convicted in the killings (one of them days away from execution), the victims' families, and prison officials to examine the nature of crime and punishment. 107 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish.
