	Actors - Erin Brockovich

Erin Brockovich is a 2000 movie which dramatizes the story of Erin Brockovich's first fight against PG&E. It was directed by Steven Soderbergh and featured superstar Julia Roberts in the lead role for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. The real Erin Brockovich has a cameo appearance in this film as a waitress named Julia. The movie was criticized by some as a one-sided representation of the Hinkley litigation.

Plot summary

Erin Brockovich is an unemployed single mother of three who, after losing a personal injury lawsuit against a doctor in a car accident she was in, asks her lawyer, Ed Masry, if he can find her a job in compensation for the loss. Ed gives her work as a file clerk in his office, and she runs across some files on a pro bono case involving real-estate and medical records against Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Erin begins digging into the particulars of the case, convinced that the facts simply do not add up, and persuades Ed to allow her further research; in time, she discovers a systematic cover-up of the industrial poisoning (Hexavalent chromium) of the town of Hinkley's water supply, which threatens the health of an entire community.

Tagline: ''She brought a small town to its feet and a huge corporation to its knees.
