In a world where heroes are often in short supply, the story of Erin Brockovich is an inspirational reminder of the power of the human spirit. Her passion, tenacity and steadfast desire to fight for the rights of the underdog defied the odds.

Based on true events, Julia Roberts stars as Erin Brockovich, a twice divorced mother of three young children, who is desperate to find a job, but is having no luck. Following a car accident in which Erin is not at fault, Erin pleads with her lawyer Ed Masry to give her a job as a legal assistant in his firm. It is there, while working for Ed that Erin stumbles upon some medical records placed in real estate files. While no one takes her seriously, with her trashy clothes and earthy manners, she convinces Ed to allow her to investigate the case, where she discovers a cover up involving contaminated water in a local community which is causing devastating illnesses among its residents. As she digs deeper, Erin finds herself leading point in a series of events that would involve her law firm in one of the biggest class action lawsuits in American history against a multi-billion dollar corporation.
