In Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, an all-white jury in Maycomb, Alabama convicts Tom Robinson of raping Mayella Ewell. Robinson's morally upright defense attorney, Atticus Finch, therefore loses the case.

The 1962 film version follows the same storyline. In 2003, however, the American Film Institute presented a television special listing the Top 50 movie heroes and Top 50 movie villains of all time. According to AFI, the No. 1 hero in movie history was Finch, played in the screen version of "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Gregory Peck.
