L'Idéaliste (1997)
Rudy Baylor est devenu avocat par vocation. Jeune, naïf et désargenté, il a en plus le handicap de vivre à Memphis, ville qui regorge d'hommes de loi. Après avoir fait le tour des cabinets, il réussit à décrocher un poste dans l'un des moins reluisants, dirigé par un affairiste notoire, lié à la mafia locale. Son patron lui adjoint un mentor roublard et dynamique qui va vite l'éclairer sur les réalités cachées de sa nouvelle profession. Rudy va s'occuper de trois affaires, dont l'une contre une redoutable et puissante compagnie d'assurances.
