The movie "Deep Blue" is set against the backdrop of the notorious Rodney King case in 1992. At that time, four white police officers were put on trial for brutally beating Rodney King, an African American youth who had been driving over the speed limit. However, the jury eventually acquitted the police officers who had beaten King. Thus, the verdict disgraced the city and ultimately sparked the Los Angeles riots, which caused the deaths of 55 people, injured 2300, led to the arrest of 12000, burned down more than 1100 buildings, and resulted in losses amounting to billions of dollars. "Deep Blue" narrates the story within the Los Angeles Police Department during the five days leading up to this shocking nationwide riot.
