Synopsis:
Erin Brockovich is a woman in a tight spot. Following a car accident in which Erin is not at fault, her attorney fails to land her any kind of settlement. Erin pleads with her attorney Ed Masry to hire her at his law film. While working, she stumbles upon some medical records placed in real estate files and begins to question the connection. She convinces Ed to allow her to investigate, where she discovers a cover-up involving contaminated water in a local community which is causing devastating illnesses among its residents. Her passion, tenacity and steadfast desire to fight for the rights of the underdog defied the odds ... her victory made even more sweet by the fact that while helping others, she in turn helped herself.
