The Hurricane was able to accomplish a feat that is difficult for sports movies. The story of Rubin Carter (Denzel), a boxer who spent two decades in prison for a murder he didn’t commit, is equal parts inspirational and daring. Washington’s riveting performance earned the actor his second Best Actor nomination, and fourth Oscar nomination overall.
