Story Synopsis

Based on the true story and the book “Dead Man Walking,“ written by Sister Helen Prejean, C.S.J., this moving film is about the breaking down of a hardened criminal. When Matthew Poncelet (Penn) asks in a letter that Sister Helen Prejean (Sarandon in an Academy Award®-winning role) come to visit him on Death Row, she comes face-to-face with the convicted killer of two lovers, a man who continues to plead his innocence. When the date is set for Poncelet’s execution by lethal injection, he asks Sister Helen to be his spiritual advisor and guide him through his last days.
