description A Civil Action Overview
Based on the non-fiction book, this film follows a personal injury lawyer who risks his firms future to take on a massive corporation in an environmental lawsuit. It is a rare look at the financial and emotional toll of civil litigation. John Travolta gives a nuanced performance as a man who starts out looking for a quick settlement but becomes obsessed with the truth. It is a grounded, realistic, and often frustrating look at how the legal system favors those with the deepest pockets.
