Brian Banks was a high school football star on track to make the NFL - until he was falsely accused of rape.

He spent over five years in prison and served five years on parole - until his accuser was secretly recorded admitting the truth.

Brian’s comeback story - including finally playing in the NFL - was turned into a Hollywood movie.

He is interviewed by Brady Haran in this episode.
