Having survived the hatred and bigotry that was his Klansman grandfather Sam Cayhall's (Hackman) only legacy, young attorney Adam Hall (O'Donnell) seeks to appeal the old man's death sentence for the murder of two Jewish children 30 years ago. Only 28 days before Cayhall is to be executed, Adam meets his grandfather for the first time in the Mississippi State Penitentiary which has held him since his conviction in 1980. The meeting is predictably tense when the educated, young Mr. "Hall" confronts his venom-spewing elder, Mr. "Cayhall" about the murders. The next day, headlines run proclaiming Adam the grandson who has come to the state to save his grandfather, the infamous Ku Klux Klan bomber., 1h24

Trois marins allemands naufragés, le lieutenant Düren, l'enseigne Stahmer et le Maat Hinze, sont sauvés par un sous-marin allemand. Après s'être avérés être les seuls survivants du naufrage du navire de guerre Pommern, ils sont d'abord célébrés en tant que héros et décorés. Cependant un enquêteur note des incohérences dans les rapports des trois et suppose la possibilité qu'ils ont délibérément quitté le navire par intérêt personnel. Un procès est annoncé avec l'accusation de désertion. En raison de cette union personnelle, eux et l'avocat de la défense des trois hommes, inexpérimenté en matière de juridiction militaire, n'obtiennent pas le rejet du procès qu'ils considèrent à charge dans le sens de la dénazification. Au début, les trois affirment leur innocence, mais à mesure qu’ils deviennent de plus en plus incohérents, ils concèdent un à un qu'ils ont quitté le navire prématurément. Ils affirment, en partie fortement émus, que tous leurs camarades étaient morts, rester sur le navire n’aurait entraîné qu'une mort inutile sans bénéfice pour autrui. Tous les trois sont condamnés à mort., 1h39

The storyline in Yield to the Night bears a superficial resemblance to the Ruth Ellis case, which had occurred the previous year. However, the film is based on the novel of the same title published in 1954 by Joan Henry. Coincidentally, Ruth Ellis appeared as an uncredited beauty queen in the 1951 film Lady Godiva Rides Again, also starring Diana Dors., 2h7

In a Louisiana nursing home in 1999, Paul Edgecomb becomes nervous while watching the 1935 film Top Hat. He is with his elderly friend Elaine, who becomes concerned, and Paul tells her that the film reminded him of his past, when he was a prison officer in charge of death row inmates at the Cold Mountain Penitentiary during the summer of 1935. The scene shifts to 1935, where Paul works with fellow guards Brutus "Brutal" Howell, Harry Terwilliger, and Dean Stanton. Unlike the other guards, Paul is a very calm guard and is sympathetic with some inmates.
