The Judge

“Defend your Honor.”

Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.), a high-powered defense attorney, returns to his small Indiana hometown after his mother's death and finds himself facing Joseph Palmer (Robert Duvall), the distant judge who raised him. His father is accused of a hit-and-run, and Hank must defend him in court, dredging up old wounds between them. The trial forces Hank to reckon with the man his father actually is, not the man he spent his life resenting.
