Synopsis
Desperate for a job to support herself and her three children, Erin Brockovich convinces attorney Ed Masry to hire her and promptly stumbles upon a monumental 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 a fight that will bring a small town to its feet and a huge company to its knees.
