A crusading lawyer takes on a case against two manufacturing companies accused of polluting a small town's water supply with cancer-inducing chemicals - but finds himself up against powerful businessmen intent on sweeping the incident under the carpet. Fact-based drama, starring John Travolta, Robert Duvall, Tony Shalhoub, Stephen Fry and William H Macy.

Jan Schlickmann is a cynical lawyer who goes out to 'get rid of' a case, only to find out it is potentially worth millions. The case becomes his obsession, to the extent that he is willing to give up everything—including his career and his clients' goals—in order to continue the case against all odds.
