Michael Clayton

Synopsis

Michael Clayton (Clooney) is a fixer at one of New York's largest corporate law firms. Though an attorney by profession, Clayton's job is to clean up client's messes, 'taking care of' anything from hit-and-runs to crooked politicians. But when the firm's leading litigator in a multi-million dollar settlement has an apparent breakdown and tries to sabotage his own case, the stakes are raised, and Clayton is forced to confront who he is and what can be justified. Tension packed from start to finish, with top class performances by a stellar cast.
