Erin Brockovich

Drama131 min

Twice-divorced mother of three Erin Brockovich (Julia Roberts) lands a clerical job at a small law office and stumbles across medical records pointing to a cluster of illnesses in a nearby town. With little legal training but plenty of nerve, she starts asking questions the paperwork can’t answer, going door to door as the pattern gets harder to ignore. Albert Finney’s attorney Ed Masry gives her a place to work, then finds himself pulled into a case involving contaminated water and a company with deep pockets. Steven Soderbergh directs the fact-based story around Erin’s persistence, sharp instincts, and refusal to be brushed aside.
