My Cousin Vinny follows Bill Gambini and Stan Rothenstein, two New York college students who are wrongfully arrested for murder while traveling through rural Alabama. Desperate for legal help, Bill calls on his inexperienced cousin, Vinny Gambini, a brash, newly minted lawyer with no trial experience. With the help of his sharp-witted fiancée, Mona Lisa Vito, Vinny navigates an unfamiliar Southern legal system, cultural clashes, and his own inexperience to defend the boys. Through a mix of unorthodox tactics, quick thinking, and Lisa’s surprising expertise, Vinny unravels the case, exposing the real culprits in a comedic yet heartfelt courtroom showdown.
