Synopsis

An unemployed single mother manages, with difficulty, to get a job in a law firm. There she almost single-handedly brings down a California power company after she discovers a cover-up involving contaminated water in a local community, which is causing devastating illnesses among its residents.

MUBI's take

Indie cinema’s busiest filmmaker Steven Soderbergh and America’s sweetheart Julia Roberts teamed up for this plucky true-life drama of fighting back against corporate corruption. The result: a pop hit, a Best Picture nominee, and an Oscar for Julia. And don’t discount a fine Albert Finney either.
