By  | 

Experience the unbelievable, touching, and controversial story of hope despite a broken system when Trial by Fire arrives on Digital July 30 and on DVD August 13 from Lionsgate. Based on the true story of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was wrongfully sentenced to death in Texas for a gruesome triple homicide, this powerful film was directed by Edward Zwick (Blood DiamondJack Reacher: Never Go Back), written by Academy Award® winner Geoffrey Fletcher (2009, Best Adapted Screenplay, Precious), and stars Jack O’Connell, Academy Award® nominee Laura Dern (2014, Best Suporting Actress, Wild), Emily Meade, and Jeff Perry. The Trial by Fire DVD will include a photo gallery and will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.98.

In 1992, Cameron Todd Willingham (Jack O’ Connell), a poor, uneducated heavy metal devotee with a violent streak, was convicted of arson-related triple homicide and put on death row. Trial by Fire is the true-life Texas story of the unlikely bond that formed between Willingham and Elizabeth Gilbert (Laura Dern), a Houston mother of two, who battled against the state for 12 years to try and save Willingham by exposing suppressed evidence and illogical conclusions.
