一名男子不滿一樁冤獄案件的發生，私自綁架審判該案的法官，將其囚禁於地下室，並錄影開直播，公開質疑其判決有誤，要求社會大眾對其進行公審並投票，然而最終的結果，會因此撼動程序正義嗎？
American Hangman is a thriller built around a relentlessly ticking clock and a rapidly approaching deadline and verdict. A kidnapping, broadcast live on social media, turns into the trial of a judge who presided over a botched criminal case. This time, however, the audience gets to play judge and jury, deciding if the judge himself gets to live or die.
