A moving, funny, and unconventional drama based on true events, Erin Brockovich stars Academy Award winner Julia Roberts as the twice-divorced mother of three young children who uncovers an injustice, takes on the bad guy, and wins. Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh (Oceans Eleven, Traffic, sex, lies, and videotape), this acclaimed film features Academy Award nominee Albert Finney, Aaron Eckhart and Marg Helgenberger in a gripping story of truth, tragedy, and triumph.
With no job, no money, and no prospects, Erin Brockovich is a woman in a tough spot. But when she fast-talks her way into a job at lawyer Ed Masry's (Finney's) office, they both get more than they bargain for. The original screenplay by Susannah Grant, based on real-life heroine Erin Brockovich, is, in the words of Chris Hewitt, critic for the Knight-Ridder News Service, "direct, intelligent, and witty in a way you wouldn't expect a movie about a class-action lawsuit to be."
Nominated for an Academy Award, this Newmarket Shooting Script also includes an introduction by Susannah Grant written especially for this book, movie stills, production notes, and the complete cast and crew credits.
