Erin Brockovich meets The Verdict. A personal-injury lawyer stumbles on a Massachusetts case of childhood leukemia that seems to point to industrial pollution. John Travolta leads this righteous-underdog story, a sober, almost documentary-like treatment of a legal system that grinds down the little guy.
