Here is the first trailer for the heartbreaking true story Brian Banks, starring Aldis Hodge (Hidden Figures, Straight Outta Compton) as Brian Banks, Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets, Little Miss Sunshine), and Melanie Liburd (This Is Us).

Here is the description from the production company, Bleecker Street:

The inspirational true story of Brian Banks (Aldis Hodge), an All-American high school football star committed to USC who finds his life upended when he is wrongly convicted of a crime he didn't commit. Despite lack of evidence, Banks is railroaded through a broken justice system and sentenced to a decade of prison and probation. Years later, with the support of Justin Brooks (Greg Kinnear) and the California Innocence Project, Banks fights to reclaim his life and fulfill his dreams of playing in the NFL.
