description Philadelphia Overview

A landmark film that brought the AIDS crisis and workplace discrimination to the forefront of American consciousness. Tom Hanks plays a lawyer fired from his firm after they discover he has AIDS, and Denzel Washington plays the homophobic personal injury lawyer who eventually takes his case. The courtroom scenes are the heart of the film, serving as a battleground for human rights and empathy. It is a deeply moving, socially significant drama that features two of the greatest actors of their generation at the peak of their powers.
