Saen Casey (Andy Garcia) is een politieman van de tweede generatie die in Manhattan tot officier van justitie is opgeklommen. Hij komt volop in de belangstelling met een ophefmakende rechtzaak tegen een grote drugsdealer die beschuldigd wordt van poging tot moord op een politieman, toevallig Seans vader. Nog voor hij van zijn overwinning kan genieten, zakt Sean diep weg in een morele crises als blijkt dat zijn hele zaak gebaseerd was op vals bewijsmateriaal. Hij moet de schokkende waarheid onder ogen zien: het beroep hij vereert, wordt bezoedeld door misdaad, samenzwering en doofpot-operaties.
Nee, helaas is Night Falls on Manhattan nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
