When several more inmates of Illinois Death Row are also found to be innocent, Illinois Governor George Ryan myst make one of hte most difficult decisions of his life - to ignore this disturbing evidence, or to transform the entire Illinois capital punishment system. The stakes of this decision are the lives of over 170 people, and Ryan's own political career. And he has only a few months to issue his final decision. Deadline: the Movie captures the ensuing dramatic series of events as they unfold.
