“Trials are too important to be decided by juries.”

In New Orleans, a trial against a gun manufacturer opens after a workplace shooting, with lawyer Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman) facing jury consultant Rankin Fitch (Gene Hackman), who stacks the box by illegal means. Then juror Nicholas Easter (John Cusack) and his girlfriend Marlee (Rachel Weisz) let it be known they can steer the verdict any way they like. Gary Fleder lays out the jury selection and the surveillance in careful, step-by-step detail.
