Coming from Sundance TV, Rectify stars Aden Young as Daniel Holden, who spends nearly 20 years on death row for rape and murder before new DNA evidence nullifies his conviction. He returns home, but hes far from welcomed by a town still divided by his alleged crime, and the prosecutor who convicted him determined to reopen the case.
New movies joining Presto in May include the romantic comedy The Longest Week, starring Jason Bateman; the hilarious Walk Of Shame featuring Elizabeth Banks doing her best to overcome a debaucherous night out and a killer hang over in order to land her dream job; World War 2 epic Fury which follows a battle-hardened tank crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines in a move to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany; The Skeleton Twins, a movie that gives new meaning to family as loved ones try and put the pieces of their lives together, accept one another and move on together; and The Turning, a collection of short films based on stories by Australian writer Tim Winton.
