Derek Bentley (Christopher Eccleston), an 19 year old with a low IQ, is hanged for a murder committed by another person, Chris Craig (Paul Reynolds). Based on a true story in which a 19-year-old boy was executed, but posthumously exonerated in 1953. The Conservative government, worried by growing violence in the post-war period, had decided to "make an example" of Bentley, the last person to be hanged in Britain.
