Daniel Mays (Line Of Duty, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Public Enemies) stars in BBC Two's powerful factual drama as Peter Wildeblood, a thoughtful and private gay journalist whose lover Eddie McNally (played by newcomer to television, Richard Gadd), under pressure from the authorities, turned Queen's evidence against him in one of the most explosive court cases of the 1950s - the infamous Montagu Trial.
　　More than ten years before the decriminalisation of homosexual acts in 1967, Peter Wildeblood, and his friends Lord Montagu (Mark Edel-Hunt) and Michael Pitt-Rivers, were found guilty of homosexual offences and jailed.
　　With his career in tatters and his private life painfully exposed, Wildeblood began his sentence a broken man, but he emerged from Wormwood Scrubs a year later determined to do all he could to change the way these draconian laws against homosexuality impacted on the lives of men like him.
　　Daniel says: 「I'm incredibly proud to be part of a drama that tells such an important real-life story. Peter Wildeblood is a fascinating, complex, yet flawed character from a time when being a gay man in Britain was incredibly difficult - I can't wait to bring his tale to life for the BBC Two audience.」
　　Patrick Holland, Channel Editor, BBC Two, said: 「50 years ago, it was a crime to be a gay man in the UK. Against The Law is a stunning piece that melds drama and documentary testimony to tell the story of one man, and his wider generation, as they struggled to make society accept their sexuality as non-criminal. It is brilliant to have a film that brings the authorship of Brian Fillis, the vision of director Fergus O'Brien, and the outstanding talent of Daniel Mays and cast to this important subject」
　　The drama also features Mark Gatiss (Taboo, Sherlock) as Wildeblood's prison psychiatrist, Doctor Landers and Charlie Creed-Miles (Ripper Street, Peaky Blinders) as Superintendent Jones.
　　Woven through this powerful drama is real-life testimony from a chorus of men who lived through those dark days, when homosexuals were routinely imprisoned or forced to undergo chemical aversion therapy in an attempt to cure them of their "condition". There is also testimony from a retired police officer whose job it was to enforce these laws, and a former psychiatric nurse who administered the so-called cures. All of these accounts serve to amplify the themes of the drama and help to immerse us in the reality of a dark chapter in our recent past, a past still within the reach of living memory.

法律之外电影网友评论：

纪录片和电影的切换效果还算不错，只是片子的视角就显得有狭隘了，如果能有公众舆论、社会背景的展现会让人更直观地感受这次审判强烈的社会冲击力吧。心疼那位被殴打的drag，作为歧视链的低端，drags可是在石墙起义里最早出头的。

看得又压抑又充满希望！最后的那对8,90岁的老夫夫，还kissnl了一下，因为有这些愿意站出来的人，愿意呐喊发声的人，一切才会更好！里面的歌都好好听！男主竟然是天生杀手里的爸爸，但是一点不违和，演得特别好

拍的一般，同志族群内部的歧视才最可怕。中产阳光gay拥有蜜汁自信，认为其他族群都玷污了同志群体。

以表演形式呈现那一段历史记录片内容。法无禁止不为罪，它界定的是行为，却无法阻绝本性和历史脚步。

个人喜好问题，男同类尤为不喜，快进式看了一遍；不过对于权利的争取是每一个普通人都应当尊重的。

感觉片尾的主角本人真身要比主角好看一些，看来那个时代的腐国对基佬们来说也挺糟糕的啊。

伪记录，同性伸张，情欲戏拍的很烂，记录片语言也匮乏，也就是站了题材这一块了。

每一个权利都需要几代人来牺牲换得，就犹如今天盛世，牺牲80.90一样。

就这事，好像已经拍过一个纪录片还是故事片了吧，而且那部人设更帅

历史进程在不断进步，这需要每个人切实而不懈的勇气与毅力。

拍得很好的纪录片，把观众自然带入。平权的道路从来不容易

一块巧克力，一枝花穗，一颗心，得基友如此，夫复何求。
