This movie is about a arrogant lawyer (John Travolta) that is challenged by a small town with dying/very ill children.
The people of the town believe that the large factories were contaminating the drinkng water which was causing serious illnesses and even deaths within their community.
John Travolta's character only takes on cases that are sure things and pay handsomely in the end. So as he looks further into this case little by little he finds clues.
I thought this was a good movie because it fustrates you because the evidence is so clear but to convince a jury wasn't.
