In 1964| world champion boxer Muhammad Ali requested exemption from the military draft based on his religious beliefs. His request was denied and when he refused
induction into the army| he was convicted and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. His case eventually works itself up the Supreme Court. In their first conference
after the case is presented| the justices decide by majority vote to uphold the conviction and Justice John Harlan is tasked with preparing the majority opinion. He
assigns one of his clerks| Kevin Connolly| to prepare a first draft but try as he might he believes that decision his wrong. His draft argues for overturning the
conviction and Harlan agrees with him. The justice must now find a way to convince his colleagues.
