Additional InformationJohn Grisham's novel comes to life in Francis Ford Coppola's courtroom drama pitting the little guy against a large corporation. Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon), an inexperienced Memphis lawyer, and his legal sidekick, Deck Schifflet (Danny DeVito), defend a leukemia victim against an insurance company and its hotshot lawyer Leo Drummond (Jon Voight). Along the way Rudy befriends an abused woman (Claire Danes), helping her escape her husband (Andrew Shue). The courtroom scenes between Damon and Voight are the highlight of this legal yarn as Rudy learns the tough price of being a good lawyer.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...A parade of colorful performances from a constantly surprising cast....Mr. Coppola's best and sharpest film in years..., USA Today - ...[Voight] steals the show...with one of the most enjoyable performances of his career..., Sight and Sound - ...The film's visual solemnity is undercut by a healthy streak of cynicism, and at times -- a rare thing for Coppola -- it's even funny

  • A Storming Good DVD

    A good version of the book by John Grisham. The main characters are well drawn and Grisham has become a master of the tense thriller genre but you know it will always work out well in the end.
