Tables are turned in Kangaroo Court, when an L.A. police officer is captured by a violent street gang.  The gang's charismatic leader agrees to put Officer Arete (Michael O'Keefe) on trial for his life. A makeshift courtroom is set up in an abandoned warehouse.  Determined to provide a fair trial, despite fellow gang members demanding revenge, he brings in a high-powered attorney (Gregory Hines) to defend the officer.

Passionate performances provide a gripping and intense look at street justice.
