A Civil Action (1998)
Jan Schlichtmann is niet geïnteresseerd in schadezaken waarin dode kinderen betrokken zijn, omdat er geen geld te halen volgens hem. Als er echter twee grote bedrijven zijn aangeklaagd in de dood van 8 kinderen ten gevolge van illegale afvallozing ziet hij er toch brood in. Hij moet het opnemen tegen de advocaten William Cheeseman, die een schande voor zijn vak is, en Jerome Facher voor het tweede bedrijf.
