Description
This is the fascinating, controversial, true story of the arrest and conviction of Randall Adams for the murder of a Dallas policeman in 1976. Billed as “the first movie mystery to actually solve a murder,” The Thin Blue Line is credited with overturning the conviction of death row inmate Adams for the murder of Robert Wood. Preceded by First Person: “The Parrot,” and commercials from the Miller High Life campaign.
