Story Synopsis

Primal Fear is based on the novel by William Diehl and stars Richard Gere as arrogant, high powered Chicago attorney Martin Vail. Looking for a case that will further his career, he grabs the opportunity to defend Aaron Stampler (brilliantly played by Edward Norton), a penniless, stuttering altar boy from Kentucky who is accused of brutally murdering the local Archbishop. All the evidence points to Aaron, but Vail is confident that his shy and uncertain client is innocent and sets out to search for the truth.
