In "Rampage," a gripping courtroom drama directed by William Friedkin, a liberal district attorney named Anthony Fraser seeks to secure the death penalty for Charles Reece, a serial killer who has slaughtered a family at Christmastime and drinks their blood due to paranoid delusions. As the trial unfolds, Fraser's internal debate about capital punishment is put to the test as Reece's defense lawyers argue that he is not guilty by reason of insanity. In the end, Reece is found sane and given the death penalty, but his fate takes a chilling turn as he is sent to a state mental hospital and sends a letter to one of his victims' families, leaving the audience wondering if justice has truly been served.
