A real woman. A real story. A real triumph. Julia Roberts stars as Erin Brockovich; a feisty young mother who fought for justice any way she knew how. Desperate for a job to support herself and her three children; she convinces attorney Ed Masry (Albert Finney) to hire her; and promptly stumbles upon a monumental law case against a giant corporation. Now; Erin's determined to take on this powerful adversary even though no law firm has dared to do it before. And while Ed doesn't want anything to do with the case; Erin won't take "no" for an answer. So the two begin an incredible and sometimes hilarious fight that will bring a small town to its feet and a huge company to its knees.
