A Town Has Turned to Dust
A Town Has Turned to Dust is a 1998 update of a 1958 made-for-TV film written by Rod Serling. It was originally shown on the Syfy Channel.
Plot
Jerry Paul is a successful, racist dweller-merchant whose wife is overly attentive to their driver-servant Tommy. Jerry has Tommy arrested on false charges of rape and theft. The town's Sheriff Denton is unable to stop a vigilante mob led by Jerry from lynching Tommy but the incident is recorded by a TV reporter named Hannify who is visiting Earth from New Angeles. The rest of the story revolves around how the report is used, revelations of a past crime, and a 'show down' in the style of High Noon.

gollark: Actually, there are. I was bored, so I nondestructively scanned your brain and ran a trillion copies of you in a simulation indistinguishable from reality except that the sky is blue mostly, instead of indigo.
gollark: They still receive the events. Mine is programmed to not ignore them for funlolz.
gollark: Most bots and bot libraries just *deliberately ignore* others.
gollark: No.
