芝加哥发生了一桩震惊全城的恐怖血案。当地一间教堂的主教罗森惨遭杀害,身上被刻上神秘数字,警方逮捕了当时在场身染血迹的犯罪嫌疑人阿伦( Edward Norton 饰)。马丁(理查•基尔 Richard Gere 饰)作为阿伦的辩护律师,和他的前女友检控官珍妮特较上了劲。
马丁并不在乎事实,他为阿伦辩护的唯一目的就是要赢得官司,让自己一战成名。而珍妮特作为正义的代表当然寸步不让。珍妮特(劳拉•琳妮 Laura Linney 饰)调查得知罗森主教生前曾对阿伦等人进行性侵犯,而阿伦关于自己患有“时间失忆”症的辩解亦显得荒唐,关于他提到的凶案证人一直都未找到。珍妮特认为杀人动机等一切证据俱全。
马丁借口阿伦患精神病使其成功脱罪,然而,一切皆出人意料。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
