Das Urteil - Jeder ist käuflich (2003)
Nick Easter arbeitet als Verkäufer von Videogames und interessiert sich so gar nicht für seine staatsbürgerlichen Pflichten. So ist er dann auch eher genervt als erfreut, als er eine Vorladung als Jury-Mitglied für den größten Prozess des Jahres bekommt: Celeste Wood verklagt einen Waffenkonzern, der die Waffe hergestellt hat, die ihren Mann tötete. Doch hinter den Fassaden der Verhandlung tobt ein erbitterter Krieg zwischen dem Anwalt der Anklägerin, Wendell Rohr, und dem von den Waffenherstellern angeheuerten Rankin Fitch, der um jeden Preis versucht, die Jury auf die Seite des Waffenkonzerns zu drehen – mit mehr oder weniger legalen Mitteln. Als jedoch die mysteriöse Marlee auftaucht und behauptet, die Jury in der Hand zu haben und das Urteil verkaufen will, beginnt ein gefährliches Katz-und-Maus-Spiel, in dem für alle Beteiligten mehr als nur das Urteil auf dem Spiel steht.
