In this fact-based made-for TV film, Gary Gilmore, an Indiana man who just finished serving a lengthy stay in prison, tries to start anew by moving to Utah. Before long, Gary begins an ill-advised romance with the troubled Nicole Baker, a teenage single mother. As their relationship quickly deteriorates, Gary goes on a murderous rampage, leaving two dead. During his trial, he demands capital punishment; a media circus ensues and outsiders look to profit from his story.

I remember watching this with my mom when I was a kid in the 1980’s

Awesome movie. Tommy Lee Jones was great as Gary Gilmore.

The best, most accurate true story movie I have ever seen, a movie that kept me glued to the seat until the very end, and when Gary silently looked toward heaven when asked if he had any last words, I hoped he asked God's forgive ness
