Das Gesetz der Macht (1991)
Maggie Ward ist Rechtsanwältin. Bei einer großen Kanzlei vertritt sie die Interessen der Großkonzerne. Auch ihr Vater ist Anwalt - allerdings versteht er sich als Verfechter der Rechte des "kleinen Mannes". Der Konflikt ist vorprogrammiert, als die zwei sich plötzlich für ihren neuesten Fall im Gerichtssaal gegenüberstehen: Maggie als Verteidiger eines mächtigen Automobilherstellers, dessen Fahrzeuge den Tod mehrerer Menschen verursacht haben sollen. Ihr Vater dagegen vertritt ein Opfer, das überlebt hat. Bei den Recherchen erkennt Maggie, daß Kollegen und selbst ihr Freund wichtiges Beweismaterial unterschlagen. Jetzt ist die Stunde der Entscheidung. Kann sie den letzten großen Machtkampf mit ihrem Vater zur Seite schieben...?
