Erin Brockovich [Blu-ray]

Director: Steven Soderbergh Steven Soderbergh

Overview

Julia Roberts stars in this legal drama based on the true story of a woman who helped win the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit. Erin Brockovich (Roberts) is a single mother of three who, after losing a personal injury lawsuit, asks her lawyer, Ed Masry (Albert Finney), if he can help her find a job. Ed gives her work as a file clerk in his office, and she runs across some information on a little-known case filed against Pacific Gas and Electric. Erin begins digging into the particulars of the case, convinced that the facts simply don't add up, and persuades Ed to allow her to do further research; in time, she discovers a systematic cover-up of the industrial poisoning of a city's water supply, which threatens the health of the entire community. Erin Brockovich was directed by Steven Soderbergh; Julia Roberts earned a $20 million payday for her work on the film, the highest salary paid to a female film star up to that time.

Editorial Reviews

A long-awaited commercial smash from acclaimed art-house director Steven Soderbergh and a personal triumph for star Julia Roberts, Erin Brockovich energizes audiences with its unique combination of humor, pathos, and suspense. Roberts has never been better, bringing earthy wit and rough-hewn charm to her characterization of Erin, the real-life law clerk whose dogged pursuit of the truth culminates in a precedent-setting judgment against California's largest utility company. When a routine investigation reveals that Pacific Gas & Electric's toxic waste has slowly poisoned an entire desert community, Erin convinces her boss, ambulance-chasing attorney Ed Masry (played with gruff lovability by the superb Albert Finney), to bring suit against the giant corporation. Soderbergh (The Limey) directs in an appealingly straightforward manner, allowing his leggy star to dominate this contemporary David-and-Goliath story with her most vital performance to date. Genuinely involving, raucously funny, and at times profoundly moving, Erin Brockovich is one of those rare movies that truly does gets better with repeated viewings.
