Based on true events, Never the Sinner is a historical drama about “the crime of the century.”
Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, two highly intelligent, rich Chicago teenagers, savagely murdered a 14 year-old boy in 1924. They were put on trial for their lives. Due to the efforts of their lawyer, legendary Clarence Darrow, Leopold and Loeb began to question their beliefs and the motives that drove them into action.
John Logan (two time Academy Award-nominee for his screenplays, The Aviator and Gladiator) masterfully explores the boys’ unique relationship and how it evolved into extremes beyond their own imaginations.
