In "88 Minutes" Al Pacino stars as Dr. Jack Gramm, a college professor who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI. The story revolves around a death row inmate named Jon Forster, who‘s getting ready to die by lethal injection as the result of Gramm‘s testimony. However, while Forster is behind bars figuring out what to order for his last meal, a copycat is at work on the streets of Seattle. When Gramm receives a death threat claiming he has only 88 minutes to live, he must use all of his skills and training to narrow down the possible suspects, who include a disgruntled student, a jilted former lover, and a serial killer who is already on death row, before his time runs out.

Possible suspects include Gramm‘s student teacher (Alicia Witt), two students (Benjamin McKenzie and Leelee Sobieksi), the dean of the college (Deborah Kara Unger), and Gramm‘s partner (Amy Brenneman), each of whom is given a darkly–scored, sepia–tinted flashback to the night before the murder.
