Academy Award.-nominated actress Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) stars in this compelling drama directed by Oscar.-nominated Steven Soderbergh (sex, lies and videotape). Twice-divorced mother Erin (Roberts) struggles to be taken seriously. When working as a file clerk in a small law firm, she stumbles upon a cover-up involving contaminated water in a nearby town. Through sheer determination, she convinces her boss to investigate, and in the process, uncovers the culprit. Although the local citizens are initially leery of becoming involved, Erin's brash manner and ability to speak to them clearly earns their trust. With over 600 plaintiffs signed up, the trial results in the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action suit.

Erin Brockovich battles a corporate polluter for compensation for the local families whose health is being destroyed by pollution from a nearby industrial installation. Inspiring true story about the importance of the protection the law gives all of us against corporate environmental vandalism. Julia Roberts is luminous; she shows us a Brockovich who is a single mum, tender with people, knows how to use her sex appeal to get what she wants and shows tremendous steel & determination to fight for her clients.

Great stuff.. cast story the lot.

Gritty and powerful with great performances by a credible cast.
