As if being falsely charged for a drugs case in which your friend is the real culprit isn’t bad enough, he must now learn to survive inside a brutal Indian prison. This film was a take on the cruel realities faced by prisoners in Indian jails.</p><p><iframe class="media-youtube-player" data-width="560" data-height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n2q_vCiOPXE?wmode=opaque" data-frameborder-value="0"></iframe></p><p><strong>Gupt: The Hidden Truth</strong></p><p><img src="http://dd508hmafkqws.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/article_node_view/public/framed.jpg"></p><p>Another film that features in this list, dates back to the 90’s.

The story, based on a Stephen King novel, offers a unique take on the theme of the wrongly convicted innocent man.</p><p><iframe class="media-youtube-player" data-width="560" data-height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NmzuHjWmXOc?wmode=opaque" data-frameborder-value="0"></iframe></p><p><strong data-style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;">Double Jeopardy</strong></p><p><img src="http://dd508hmafkqws.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/article_node_view/public/judy.jpg"></p><p>Framed for the ‘murder’ of her missing husband, Ashley Judd plays Libby Parsons, a woman who is taken away from her son and imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit. After realising that this was all a set up by her cheating husband, she engineers her release thus turning the film into a tale of betrayal and revenge. After all, you can't really be convicted for killing a dead man can you?</p><p><iframe class="media-youtube-player" data-width="560" data-height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u22fy9OTaxo?wmode=opaque" data-frameborder-value="0"></iframe></p><p><strong>The Green Mile</strong></p><p><img src="http://dd508hmafkqws.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/article_node_view/public/green_4.jpg"></p><p>Accused of rape and murder 'The Green Mile' is a truly unique take on an innocent man on death row. Duncan’s performance as the accused is tremendously tender and makes you question why there’s a reason for anybody to believe that his character Coffey could be capable of committing such ghastly crimes.</p><p><iframe class="media-youtube-player" data-width="560" data-height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ctRK-4Vt7dA?wmode=opaque" data-frameborder-value="0"></iframe></p>
