Knock on Any Door

A tenacious lawyer uses her deep understanding of the gritty urban environment to mount a passionate defense for a notorious criminal accused of murder, ultimately seeking to humanize the accused and challenge the justice system.

Andrew Morton, a defense attorney who rose from poverty, takes on Nick Romano, a young man with a troubled past. After Nick's wife, who is pregnant, dies by suicide, he turns to crime again, but is caught and killed by a frustrated cop. Morton's appeal focuses on the dehumanizing effects of life in the slums.
