Storyline:
Erin Brockovich is an unemployed single mother, desperate to find a
job, but is having no luck. This losing streak even extends to a failed
lawsuit against a doctor in a car accident she was in. With no
alternative, she successfully browbeats her lawyer to give her a job in
compensation for the loss. While no one takes her seriously, with her
trashy clothes and earthy manners, that soon changes when she begins to
investigate a suspicious real estate case involving the Pacific Gas &
Electric Company. What she discovers is that the company is trying
quietly to buy land that was contaminated by hexavalent chromium, a
deadly toxic waste that the company is improperly and illegally dumping
and, in turn, poisoning the residents in the area. 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.
