All you have to do is guess the movie from the plot described from the previous post.

When you do that, you can post the plot.

Let's get this started:

An orphan found on the side of the road of some tinyville becomes a man of two identities. One as a man of the paper and the other as a man of justice.

What is it?

Alright, here's a new one since nobody got the other one....

The movie is a true story of a man who fights for a living and is wrongfully accused of a crime and is thrown in jail for about 15 years. He is finally given justice with the help of a few loyal friends, and he becomes a legend.

(The reason I didn't post one when I guessed earlier is because I wasn't sure I had the answer right.)

OK, here goes: A teenage gang leader in a near future gets into fights, steals, rapes, and in his spare time, listens to Beethoven. He ends up in prison, but gets released through a special program that's supposed to rehabilitate him through conditioned response. He has to cope with society in a different way, and stay away from enemies he had made before prison.

Hello, all

I havn't won any of these, but I thought I would keep the game going, this one may be a little easy, I hoping to try and take the most popular movies and give a plot descriptions that still stump everyone, but it might take some practice, so try this one:
