The Accused

1980s drama starring Kelly McGillis and Jodie Foster. In 1987, young waitress Sarah Tobias (Foster) is viciously gang-raped in a seedy bar after a seductive dance with a local man gets out of hand, but her defence lawyer, Assistant District Attorney Kathryn Murphy (McGillis), makes a deal with the men to reduce the charge from rape to reckless endangerment. Furious, Sarah takes her to task - and the two women take the onlookers to court on charges of inciting rape, in a case which makes legal history.
