The hero, a good and decent man and a wise judge, is forced to push an agenda through the courts and make the travesty of judgment believable as his - by any means. All under a threat so immense and unthinkable, that none would guess it.
Having saved mankind certain death and miseries, the hero becomes reviled among his peers and hated by those who once loved him..he lives out his days in silent agony and despair.
Because it is a movie, I knew what that thing was and applauded his sacrifice.
(Maybe there is that unimaginable thing)
Yowza! Though not exactly what I was imagining. LOL
I’ll have to get that book. Thanks.
