Synopsis

The Accused is a 1988 American legal drama film directed by Jonathan Kaplan and written by Tom Topor, loosely inspired by the 1983 gang rape of Cheryl Araujo in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Starring Kelly McGillis and Jodie Foster, the film follows Sarah Tobias (Foster), a waitress who is gang raped by three men at a local bar. With the help of assistant district attorney Katheryn Murphy (McGillis), she sets out to prosecute the rapists, as well as the men who encouraged the assault.
