A law firm brings in its "fixer" to remedy the situation after a lawyer has a breakdown while representing a chemical company that he knows is guilty in a multibillion-dollar class action suit.
"Named one of the 100 best films of the century by The New York Times. Michael Clayton is a gripping legal thriller packed with tension, depth, and powerhouse performances. Directed by Tony Gilroy, the film follows Michael Clayton (George Clooney) — a fixer, not a trial lawyer, the guy who cleans up messy scandals before they hit the headlines. But this time, the mess is way too big. What starts as just another damage-control job spirals into a web of corporate corruption, paranoia, and impossible moral choices. With a slow-burn yet relentless pace, the movie dives into the dark underbelly of corporate power and the ethical gray zones of those who enable it. Clooney delivers one of his finest performances, backed by a stellar cast including Tilda Swinton and Tom Wilkinson. Michael Clayton is the kind of film that hooks you from the start and lingers in your mind long after the credits roll."
