The real-life drama of the 1994 O.J. Simpson trial is given quasi-fictional treatment in this two-part CBS miniseries, which aired in November 2000. Much of the miniseries' plot focuses on the battle of egos between defense lawyers Johnnie Cochran (
Ving Rhames) and Robert Shapiro (
Ron Silver) and how the personalities of these men in part shaped the outcome of the trial. Also included in the cast are
Bruno Kirby and
Christopher Plummer. ~ Rebecca Flint, All Movie Guide
