Erin Brockovich

“She brought a small town to its feet and a huge company to its knees.”

A stack of medical records in a real estate case keeps turning up the same illnesses, all in one nearby town, and nobody at the law firm can say why. Erin Brockovich (Julia Roberts), a twice-divorced mother of three who files papers for attorney Ed Masry (Albert Finney), starts knocking on doors to find out. Steven Soderbergh follows her through Hinkley, where she keeps going back long after anyone is paying her to.
