Michael Clayton (George Clooney)

The main roles are played by Oscar winner George Clooney (Syriana), Oscar nominee Tom Wilkinson (In the Bedroom), Tilda Swinton (The Narnia Story) and Sydney Pollack (The Interpreter).

MICHAEL CLAYTON is a thriller by the filmmakers behind FIRMAN and ERIN BROKOVICH. It is the story of a beaten man who tries to fix the hardest thing of all - his own existence and his own life.

At three o'clock in the morning in a snowy Manhattan, the lights are still on at a well-known law firm. In a jail cell in Milwaukee, a prominent lawyer describes what made him throw off his clothes during a testimony and declare his love to a nineteen-year-old girl across the courtroom. On a deserted country road, Michael Clayton stops his car by the side of the road for a breath of fresh air. When he does, the car explodes. What is it that connects the three events? This is Michael Clayton.
George Clooney plays the "fixer" Michael Clayton. He is newly divorced, has a shoulder and begins to hate his job to clean up the Kenner, Bach & Ledeen law firm's dirtiest assignment. When he is faced with the challenge of his life, he does something he has never done before... instead of forgetting what happened, he starts to dig into it.
