Patrick Brennan

The Next Three Days -- John Brennan (Crowe) will stop at nothing to protect his family, but he's never had to put his life and others' on the line. When his wife is convicted of murder, and all appeals efforts are exhausted, the only hope he sees is breaking her out.

A small-town loser determines to have one more shot at the big time by winning a football game.

Life seems perfect for John Brennan (Russell Crowe) until his wife, Lara (Elizabeth Banks), is arrested for a murder she says she didn't commit. Three years into her sentence, John is struggling to hold his family together, raising their son Luke (Ty Simpkins) and teaching at community college while he pursues every means available to prove her innocence. With the rejection of their final appeal, Lara becomes suicidal and John decides there is only one possible, bearable solution: to break his wife out of prison. Refusing to be deterred by impossible odds or his own inexperience, John devises an elaborate escape plot and plunges into a dangerous and unfamiliar world, ultimately risking everything for the woman he loves.
