True Crime is a 1999 movie directed by Clint Eastwood. The film tells the story of Steve Everett, a talented but flawed journalist who is assigned to cover a death row case. He is initially uninterested in the story, but soon discovers that the convicted man, Frank Beachum, is actually innocent.
As Everett races against time to gather evidence that will exonerate Beachum, he must navigate his own personal demons, including a failing marriage and a drinking problem. Along the way, he forms a bond with Beachum and his family, and becomes determined to save his life.
The film is a tense and gripping thriller that explores the themes of redemption, justice, and the power of the press. It features strong performances from Eastwood as the gruff and world-weary Everett, and James Woods as the doomed Beachum.

True Crime is based on a novel by Andrew Klavan, and was adapted for the screen by Larry Gross, Paul Brickman, and Stephen Schiff. It received positive reviews upon its release, with critics praising Eastwood's direction, the performances, and the film's moral complexity.
