Affleck and Damon will play Michael Banks and J. Gordon Cooney, respectively. The movie will tell of two lawyers at a Philadelphia firm that took on a pro bono appeal which lasted 15 years. The lawyers won nine stays of execution for death-row inmate John Thompson and finally got him exonerated of all charges.
