《正义的慈悲》将由德斯汀·克里顿(《少年收容所》《玻璃城堡》)执导，Andrew Lanham(《玻璃城堡》《陋室》)操刀剧本。改编自美国律师布莱恩·史蒂文森所著畅销书《正义的慈悲：美国司法中的苦难与救赎》，讲述他如何在有缺陷的法律体系中为司法公正而奋斗，为推动美国刑事司法制度的改善做出巨大贡献。
影片聚焦史蒂文森办的第一个案子：黑人青年Walter McMillian因一项他并没有犯的罪行而被判死刑，尽管他有充分的不在场证明。在最终被无罪释放之前，他在死囚牢房呆了六年。
A powerful and thought-provoking true-story, "Just Mercy" follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan might have had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson.) One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx,) who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds-and the system-stacked against them.
