Judge joins the movement but is soon beset by police pressure to inform against Huey.

Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 31% approval rating based on 13 reviews.[4]
Roger Ebert stated "There is a fascinating study to be made of the Black Panther Party. Panther is not that film."[5] Panther co-founder Bobby Seale, a major character in the film, called it "80 percent to 90 percent" untrue and "a false-light invasion of my privacy."[6] While Kennith Turan praised it as a "sincere attempt at celebratory, spirit-raising filmmaking", he also criticized it as "a frustrating amalgam of truth, violence, supposition and inspiration".[7]
