MICHAEL CLAYTON (2007)
SYNOPSIS
Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house
"fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in
New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton
takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen's dirtiest
work at the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty
Bach (Sydney Pollack). Though burned out and
hardly content with his job as a fixer, his divorce, a
failed business venture and mounting debt have
left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm. At U/North,
meanwhile, the career of litigator Karen Crowder
(Tilda Swinton) rests on the multi-million dollar
settlement of a class action suit that Clayton's firm
is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion.
But when Kenner Bach's brilliant and guilt-ridden
attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages
the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest
challenge of his career and his life.
