Movie Info

Jeff Fahey plays Raymond Graham, who for five years has lived on Death Row, awaiting execution for the murder of a store clerk. Having given up on any further legal delays, Graham wearily awaits the fatal injection. Joining the condemned man in his death watch are Graham's family and attorney, a crowd of anti-capital punishment demonstrators, and the inevitable TV crews. This drama concentrates on the final two hours of Raymond Graham's life, played out in "real time". Originally telecast November 17, 1985, The Execution of Raymond Graham was the ABC TV network's first live dramatic presentation in nearly 25 years.

All Critics (1) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1)

The point of this brilliant, suspenseful, hammerlocking drama was delivered early on by Raymond Graham, the fictional convicted murderer played with aching and terrifying realism by Jeff Fahey.
