Ace Attorney (American film)

Ace Attorney is a 2017 American remake of the Japanese courtroom comedy drama film of the same name, which in turn is based off of Capcom's popular video game series (particularly, Cases 2 and 4 of the 1st game). It is intended to be the 1st installment of the Capcom Infinite Multiverse.

Story
After barely saving his best friend, Larry Butz, from charges of murder, rookie defense attorney, Phoenix Wright, is given the case of a lifetime when his mentor, Mia Fey, is murdered. The prime suspect is Mia's younger sister, Maya, and the prosecutor is the famed "Demon Prosecutor" Miles Edgeworth, Wright's childhood friend. After Wright wins the case, Edgeworth is charged with murder and reluctantly asks Wright for help. Now, it's up to Wright and his new assistant, Maya, to help find all the evidence they need to save Edgeworth. As they explore deeper, however, they both discover a mysterious murder case that might be linked to Edgeworth's trial...or maybe even a mysterious event that is yet to come.
