Event Originally produced by Paramount Pictures in 1988.
Summary What are the limits of justice? Of social responsibility? THE ACCUSED takes a powerful and thought-provoking look at human nature and individual moral conscience, and a judicial process that treats the victim like a criminal. Jodie Foster gives an **Oscar**-winning performance as the hard-living fiercely independent Sarah Tobias, who is gang-raped in the back of a neighborhood bar. But that is only the beginning of her ordeal. Now Sarah finds herself battling the legal system, not once but twice, as she and her attorney (Kelly McGillis) go after both her attackers and the onlookers whose cheering fueled and encouraged the assault. Winner of Best Actress at the **Academy Awards**. Winner of Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama at the **Golden Globes**. Nominated for Best Actress at the **BAFTA Awards**. Nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. *"[Jodie Foster's] performance didn't just win an Oscar. It won the hearts of every woman who has ever had to endure the horror of assault and the continued injustice of having to fight against prejudice and a legal system steeped in patriarchy, to be heard." - Keeva Stratton, **Rescu***
