The Man Who Dared is a 1946 American film noir crime film directed by John Sturges, which serves as the first film he directed.

It tells the story of a reporter who concocts a false case so as to get himself convicted for first degree murder.

He does this to prove that a death sentence could be erroneously issued based on circumstantial and flawed evidence and that the death penalty should be abolished.
