The Coverup, previously known as The Thacker Case, is a 2008 crime-thriller film directed by Brian Jun and starring Gabriel Mann and Eliza Dushku.

They seek the help of a personal injury attorney, Stuart M. Pepper, who works to find the evidence to prove that this was not an accidental death, but a deliberate murder and case of police brutality.

Pepper's arguments prove successful, and the court eventually finds Kendall Eldred guilty of the murder.

It was all a massive cover-up made by the Marshalltown police department to hide the guilt of an officer.

The truth came to light, and it was discovered that an unarmed, defenseless Kevin Thacker was killed in cold blood due to a blow from Officer Eldred.
