My Cousin Vinny (1992)
There have been many courtroom dramas that have glorified the Great American Legal System. This is not one of them.
Synopsis
Two carefree pals traveling through rural Alabama on their way back to college are mistakenly arrested and charged with murder. Fortunately, one of them has a cousin who's a lawyer - Vincent Gambini, a former auto mechanic from Brooklyn who has just passed his bar exam after his sixth try.
