Jury Duty
For truth. For justice. For five bucks a day.
Directed by John Fortenberry
Produced by TriStar Pictures, Triumph Films
A lighthearted comedy about a scheming unemployed man exploiting jury duty for free lodging and meals, balancing self-interested humor with mild social commentary on justice.
When jobless Tommy Collins discovers that sequestered jurors earn free room and board as well as $5-a-day, he gets himself assigned to a jury in a murder trial. Once there, he does everything he can to prolong the trial and deliberations and make the sequestration more comfortable for himself.
