About the film

The truth has a man on the inside.

What it’s about

Rob Bilott is a corporate attorney whose career shifts when a farmer asks for help. The trail leads to a chemical company's waste. Bilott pursues a lawsuit that pits him against a powerful corporation and consumes his life for years.

What hooks you

Mark Ruffalo plays Rob Bilott, with Anne Hathaway as his wife Sarah and Tim Robbins as his boss Tom Terp. The film won a César nomination for Best Foreign Film. Its release coincided with a drop in DuPont's stock price, a detail noted in the catalogue. The tension comes from one lawyer's persistence against a company that hid the harm for decades.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like true-life legal battles where the stakes are personal and the opponent is a corporate giant. It will also appeal to viewers drawn to environmental scandals and slow-burning thrillers built on documents, depositions, and moral weight.
